I have a four piece Fario 9' #4 and it is THE best trout rod that I have ever cast (IMHO)
Miss this opportunity at your peril!

Well that’s another 9ft 5wt,, will see if it knocks the winston out as the go to rod or just another spare.

I'm hoping to be home in the next week or so. Hopefully the new rod will be there for my return and will get its first outing on the Don  :z16

Will be interesting to see how the 4# is in 6 piece form. Thankfully it was Senior that paid for my full price 5# previously and it was a rather devious act as well  :z4 :z4 :z4

The video suggests the 6 piece performs better than the 4...

Euan,

I’ve left Stevens in the box but mine looks fantastic, haven’t put a line through it yet but had a wee waggle (as you would) feels good. Heading off to Loch Earn on Friday so I will give it a sound thrashing over the weekend and let you know.

All the best,

Eddie :z18
