 A two piece 6 - 3 makes for good travel . I have a one piece travel a bit harder but  I am OK with that . Sweet rod you have there by the way . Thumbup

Thanks guys, 

 

Dave, I don't know what kind of reel it is.  The only markings I have found are a "made in usa" stamped on the bottom of the reel seat.  I picked it up at a yard sale for 5 bucks, took it home, cleaned it up, works great and balances the rod very well.  I got it spooled up with cortlan sylk, casts like a dream.

 

Here a few more pictures.

Chubby little wild bow, the 3wt makes these guys feel good

 

 

small mountain streams like this is where this rod has been so far this year

 

 

all full of wild brookies and rainbows
