Sig III 6'1" 3 pc 0 wt

Hi
Dan Craft has a Sig III 6'1" 3pc 0 wt, has anyone built a rod on this blank, and if so, how would you rate the action, and what line do you use on it.

I have a Sig III 6' 10" 3pc 1wt that has become my favourite small stream rod, how does 0 wt compare with the 1wt, apart from line size.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Regards Greg McComb

Greg,

This is a brand new blank! No one has one but me as they just got here from Washington Tuesday. The signature III blanks are moderate fast action, very light and usually match their line rating. I don't know if this is a true zero weight as how do you rate a zero? Anyway, it is lighter than the 7'0'" 1wt and while maybe just a little faster, I believe the tip is just a bit softer. Hope this helps.
