Members Jeff Hearn Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have now tested the new Greys 11' 3wt. The reason for posting here is I tested the Indie/Midge(frenchie) rod in BS State Park at Dew Eddy. I brought to hand a large number of fish on a size 18 French Midge including two Bows in the 18" range. used 5x and 6x FC tippet(Frog Hair)....It has some backbone but a very nice soft tip.......I am not sure that a fish can break 5x based on my observation......I would guess it as a medium flex and somewhat softer than the 10' 3wt.....I am loading a Loop Opti-Creek to try as my Sage 3200 did no balance the rod at all...It's a fine reel and works great on the 10'r but it's just too light....I have posted a picture of the setup prior to installing....See the picture included......I see an 11' 4wt in my future Jeff Hearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytyer57 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Almost like a switch rod or maybe a spey rod? Is it a two handed rod or does it have a normal grip? I used to have a 10' medium light action spinning rod for steelhead fishing. Nice limber rod and the length absorbed a lot of the shock involved in fighting a fish. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Hearn Posted January 10, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 It is single handed......I believe it is called a Wells Grip.......Dual locking rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trout Commander Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Very nice! Thanks for sharing, Jeff. I would love to have a 10' 5wt. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
