Where would I use a rod like that? I thought light weights like that were usually shorter for small tight streams. I’m a rookie.

I was gifted one.

Lots os places. Should be a fun rod on any small stream or pond.

More gifts from an estate. It’s a vintage Shakespeare auto winding fly reel. Made in Kalamazoo. Works perfect. Any one want to try it?

Definitely good for nypmhin on small creeks where you might need a little extra reach but don't want to be sporting a 10+ footer.

Like others have said, small flies and small creeks. Those rods are a lot of fun.

I’ve got a 7 ft 3 wt that is a joy to fish -even though I fish bigger creeks with it than I probably ought to.

My father has a reel like the one pictured. He likes it.
