Then the recoil RSF ligth should be the best choice, do you agree? I fish rivers from small to medium wild brownies. I think that it will increases the feel of the rod when a trout touches the nymph.

Wow, i'm impressed, i must read more. The artus & artus and the minama sounds fine. Bob, one question if you can tell me, how should be the guide chart? Sizes and order, or should be then in the same size? And for the stripping guide, have you used micro too? Thanks in advance mate!!! Ahh, and sorry for my english, i'm from Spain (Pamplona).

Hi mates!! I'm going to build a new rod for czech nymphing. I would like to build a 10"#3. I think that guides could be micro. Is it possible? What do you think could be the best model i should buy?? The blank could be the ESN that i'm earning for. I apreciate advices!! Thanks "This post is a copy of other posted in other forum"
