Smartt 7.5 2 pc
by Smartt
From the collection of and built and designed by Stan Smartt measurements were taken over one coat of varnish probably less than .001 so disregard is suggested. A very light delicate rod with surprising power. Have witnessed Stan casting the rod with DT-3f and a #10 popper an honest 60' (measured the line) into a light breeze. Tip Top #4
