Had a relative ask for a couple fly builds similar to Recons. I’ve never fished a recon and wondered if anyone had any guidance?
Thanks, Tim Edit: never mind, I just shipped him some different 6wts to compare. The old fashioned approach:) Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/26/2023 07:53AM by Tim Scott. Re: North Fork blank similar to Recons?

I have only cast a Recon once. I was not that impressed. I have made NFC LMX FAF 9' 5wt and 9' 8wt rods. I find them to be good, fast action rods, worth the $125 price and especially worth it when on deal. My 5wt prefers a 1/2 size heavy WF line. I would rank them more in the fast and powerful end of the spectrum rather than calling them finesse rods. They throw very tight loops and you can generate high line speed.

Don’t disagree. But it is what he likes…. I sent him 6wt Gamma Alpha, Beta and Classic for eval. I haven’t built any lighter FAF blanks other than ESN. Re: North Fork blank similar to Recons?
