The owner of that rod will love it.<BR/>I've build exactly that rod for the german Fliegenfischer-Forum for a rod test (see at http://www.fliegenfischer-forum.de/dancraf0.html). ... and they really like it as a great dry fly rod with an excellent smooth casting and fish fighting feeling.<BR/>Greetings from a Dan Craft fan<BR/>Stefan ScherfRedTaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783741570525613537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763219599178931414.post-32215570444473969742009-02-17T08:21:00.000+02:002009-02-17T08:21:00.000+02:00A very nice assembly job on another great Dan Craf...A very nice assembly job on another great Dan Craft Five Rivers blank. This Sig V blank and your fine craftsmanship will provide someone with a very pleasurable fly rod.<BR/><BR/>All of Dan Craft's blank series are outstanding and affordable in my judgment. The Sig V's are light, delicate and precise at casting a fly and work well with their rated lines.<BR/><BR/>The FTL series provide great travel rods that perform as well as any on the market. They also are rated well for matching line weights.<BR/><BR/>If you need a rod that is a durable work horse and doesn't run out of power the fast action taper in the 9' FT series provides a rod that is extremely versatile regardless of how you line it or use it. As an example I have two FT 3 weight rods that will handle dry flies well with three weight lines and yet they punch weighted nymphs and strike indicators into the wind using heavier 6 weight lines.<BR/><BR/>I believe you have chosen well in using these blanks as they perform as well as any on the market regardless of name or price.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Stan GraceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763219599178931414.post-38382935467979090182009-01-25T13:51:00.000+02:002009-01-25T13:51:00.000+02:00Multumesc pentru aprecieri...In legatura cu intreb...Multumesc pentru aprecieri...<BR/>In legatura cu intrebarea dvs. pot sa spun ca a fost o preferinta de moment din punct de vedere estetic mai mult...la unele blankuri ea este cateodata absolut necesara pt rezistenta.<BR/>Lanseta este foarte usoara, inca n-am cantarit-o ce-i drept, mai usoara decat celelalte doua construite pe acelasi blank, prin designul per ansamblu imbunatatit..este un detaliu mult prea nesemnificative incat sa afecteze performantele lansetei si greutatea sa per ansamblu..acest lucru se intampla de regula atunci cand se foloseste prea multa rasina in finisare si rezultatul finish-ului este unul voluminos..daca bine se observa, finisajele sunt perfect paralele si volumele excesive de rasina practic lipsesc...<BR/>Multumesc de comentariu si va mai astept si cu alta ocazie!!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166120127523561438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763219599178931414.post-49786342603608683962009-01-25T10:23:00.000+02:002009-01-25T10:23:00.000+02:00Felicitari,foarte frumos bat.Mi-as permite o mica ...Felicitari,foarte frumos bat.<BR/>Mi-as permite o mica observatie care sper sa nu te deranjeze si anume cred ca matisarea mufelor mama e prea lunga ,un matisaj de 1-2cm. cred ca ar fi fost de ajuns scopului pt. care e necesara aceasta matisare.Doar ingreuneaza un pic batul cu ceva ce nu e necesar.<BR/>Daca nu esti de acord cu observatia mea ,atunci compara cum matiseaza renumitul BURKHEIMER mufele mama cu cele matisate de tine la acest bat.<BR/>Nu construiesc bete de fly,doar transform bete de fly in bete de spinning ,sau imi construiesc bete de spinning pe blank-uri de fly pt. mine.<BR/><BR/>Felicitari si pentru prezentarea grafica deosebita a interesantului tau blog.<BR/><BR/>Jean Scurtu <BR/>Houston,TexasJean Scurtuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713674806280864480noreply@blogger.com
