Wow!!! I go 6 weight, as it is a 5/6. I agree with you that it is a good bushwhacking rod as nothing lost if it breaks, but it is a terrible fly rod for casting any distance. Guides are not placed right and way big.
I have been casting and teaching for years and it is truly terrible.
I use mine for deep nymphing where there is no casting.
It is actually Graphite & glass. Stiffer than E glass, but close to S glass.
Trying to cast anything smaller than 5 will make it quicker action, but it is not going to load at all.
I would seriously look at a different rod. I am not talking high dollar, and there are allot of great rods on e-bay.
