I have had Brownies to jut over 3lb on mine, from a fast, run, and it coped well. It is lovely for pinging out bugs. It is a Taniwha Rodworks blank as Sandy suggested.
James Orme:
Just a brief update on this rod. I somehow managed to lose the top 2 sections into the river whilst I was retrieving a fly from a tree, I still (1+ year later) can't quite understand how it happened. I built another on the same blank but fitted a carbon fibre handle which has increased the sensitivity.
Additionally I have built a 10ft 5wt from the same nanohelix range at guidesnblanks which is equally fun to fish with and to complete the line-up a 10ft 7wt nanohelix blank from Taniwha. The latter rod is the only one of the three that I'm not entirely positive about, I don't think I've yet found the right balance of rod/reel/line to make it as enjoyable to use.
