OK Steve, you've reached a new high (or low) 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 That is the ugliest rod I've seen in my life.......But you did wash your truck for the picture (y)
For an intermediate I like, RIO Products Fly Line Mainstream Aqualux Intermediate Wf5I, Clear
For my floating lines, I like the 406 lines out of Montana
For my full sink line; I like RIO MAINSTREAM WF-5-S6 TYPE 6 FULL SINK SINKING

My taper is similar in the stress graphs to Ray Gould's RR166 and his RR171. My first attempt to design a similar taper at 7'10" in a 5wt turned out to be happy with a 6 or 7wt line instead. I met Ray for lunch one day in Bothell and he cast the first try and cast the new taper after lunch at...
