This Guide Series is a 10wt, 9 foot, 4 piece rod. We already knew our ten weight could throw a 650 grain line better than the best production rods in the world. We knew it felt light in hand like many modern 8 weights and in the right hands casts farther than 130'. But somehow with this particular rod we needed that stamp of approval. Why? Serious people fish for serious fish.
When you show your fly rod to a world class rod designer it is with mixed emotions. It's as if that person can give the rod a shake, a cast and know far more about what you have done in five minutes than you know yourself about the project after hundreds of hours of work. And it was with even greater amazement when after a long silent pause, he looks at you, gives you a big grin and says "I would buy that rod." YAHOOOOO!!!!! This rod needs to throw 80' of line to a cruising rooster fish while your balanced on the oily deck of a Panga, experiencing a mixed bout of Montezuma's revenge and the aftershock of last nights Coronas. It needs quick power, on demand, to get the line to the fish and deep reserve power to land the fish. This is the rod that people will take to far off places and use under the toughest conditions. It is also the rod you will see over and over again in the family photo album: a big grin, an exotic fish and a Beulah 10 wt.
USE OF ROD: This rod was designed to fish for the following species: Salmon, Roosterfish, Jacks, Striped Bass and Blue fish. We probably left out one hundred other species however you get the point.
ACTION: DAMN FAST action, fast recovery.
