The first rod is a Custom Series Bamboo. This one is based on the famous Paul Young Midge rod, my take on it. A 6'-0", 3 piece / 2 tips, made for a 3 or 4 wt line, this rod has a nice medium action that will suit many different fishing situations. It will cast your smaller dry flies, wets, & nymphs all very well. While the original Paul Young taper was a true 4 wt rod, I believe that some anglers will enjoy this rod with a 3 weight line as well.
