Hi All, I got this rod in for repair about 9 months ago (the guy
cracked a hook dig in Montana) . After the repair I test casted it with
a #4 line. It was probably the finest 71/2'er I have ever cast . Medium 
to medium/fast action.So I miked it and took some measurements. Here it
is. (I do not know exactly which model it was, but it's sweet!
