Last week I was fishing for small-mouth bass in northern Wisconsin with Hayward Fly-fishing Co. We had been having an incredible day with several fish in 18" range. After throwing my 6 weight for a couple days my arm was starting to feel it and my guide , Wendy Williamson, handed me your new small-mouth bass rod. WOW, what a difference! It made everything effortless and I was back to making on target casts with large poppers , minus the double haul I was doing before. Needless to say it was a great trip. Here's a photo of a 19 3/4" smallie caught on your awesome looking and just as prescribed small mouth bass rod. Eric Rauch
