New for 2000
The F 552/3 is the shortest, lightest, most minimal fly rod we've ever designed. This is the rod at the edge of the horizon for Fibertouch fans, the rod that casts short with more touch and accuracy than any fly rod in the world. Short rod specialists such as Ed Koch fish this rod over midge hatches and in their favorite small streams. If this is your favorite type of fly fishing, you've got to try this rod.
