Joel, I'm not sure whether to go fishing or sipping. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you. I chose to tie this fly because of it's simpicity and I have always loved the colour combination.
This is a really awesome fly reel. I've never seen anything like it. It's in a class by itself
David,
Usually all parts of a rod are the same length, but of course there might be variations.
Missing a bit of the tip does sound like the rod has been broken. I personally have two rods that have tip sections, which are ½-1 inch shorter than the other sections, but I know why: I broke off the tips! I fell with one rod and the other one hit a lamp or pipe in a room where I was waving it around to "test" it.
All I did was move the top guide from the broken off part to the remaining part, and I must say that both rods are equally good and the difference - if any - is so subtle that I can't feel it.
I have no idea whether your rod has been broken or not, but that could be a possibility.
But if the rod feels good and casts and fishes as it should, I wouldn't worry about it.

Need Help:
Just bought a St Croix legend Ultra fly rod 9 ft 6 wt 4 pc.
Found the last 2 top sections have different length. The tip section is about 0.25 iches shorter.
Is it normal?
Thanks for your reply.
wow, that looks beautiful. the color is stunning.
Very good advice. Just to let you know GFF has been an inspiration to me over the years and and I look forward to each new article. All the best and please keep up the excellent work
Loved the article Bob...... I couldn't agree more with you about the link between people who like to fly tie and people who like to cook...... definitely a correlation. I'll be trying this one for our next large family dinner!
Bob!
Long time no read!!!!!
I'll try that recipe ASAP!
And above all,
greetings from Ljubljana!

I agree with you in some way, but it's a detail that appears in the video, STH is a national brand, ECHO is multinational, are choices of equipment, I suppose that these brands should have paid for this angler to put your logo in the video .. .. Are details of observation, I'm not a fan of logos and brands .....
SUPREME FLY. Love the colors, This is incredible.
Ernesto,
Whether the originator of these videos uses gear from his sponsors must be an issue between him and the sponsors. I personally couldn't care less. I usually try to ignore the logos, spots and commercials as much as I can.
Martin
Wow! nice videos of Solo. But STH is sponsor of this fisherman and he use Lexus reels!!!!!! And the rods? Do you believe that he use Echo rods?????
Fredrik,
Sure it's Baltic... but the Baltic salmon happens to be Atlantic in the sense that the scientific name is Salmon salar, in English Atlantic salmon. Even the Atlantic salmon that swims up New Zealand and Chilean rivers is called Atlantic although most of them have never seen the Atlantic.
Blame science, not me ;-)
Martin
It's not Atlantic salmon,it's Baltic.
Byske is in the north of Sweden on the east coast. ;)
