Hello Bill
I've built the FX 601-1-B and agree with Ken very light fast and seem durable. I caught a 6# cobia (good fight) on it while fishing for bait in the Morehead City turning basin. Big Fun!!! Take Care. Bob, New Bern, NC. Re: has any one built ??

Bill, I have a FX661-2-B sitting here next to me right now. The tip section starts to bend significantly 8 inches from the tip end. Might be a bit stiff as a short cast 3 wt. Really nice blank though.
Regards, Craig Re: has any one built ??

Bill, I haven't been on here for a couple days due to work. If you have any further questions my email is CaJohnson@up.net. No plans to CCS it. Going to be a new brookie rig for throwing small Mepps XDs and Panther Martins. It feels right to me.
