Warra Bill 7'6"
by Warra
"The Bill Waara" This is the rod as listed in the planing form by John Long. This is a "western style" dry fly rod. To me it makes a better 6wt. I would also use a 14/64 ferrule because the dia at the ferrule is just a hair over. guide spacing-rod assembled: tip 4" 8.5" 14" 20" 27" 34" 42" ferrule 51" 61.5"

This rod has a "Parabolic (butt-flex)" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is well below the failure threshold, giving this rod a generous safety margin.
