I picked up a dandy little 5'9" bamboo rod this weekend- a Constable "Dart", for 4WF or 5DT. I was a little leery, liking short-ish rods but not necessarily something that short, or English made. What an eye opener. That delicate looking super light rod has the moxie to lay out a nice long cast and the sensitivity to manipulate delicate presentations. No fish landed with it yet but it feels like it has enough backbone to be competitive with others in its class.
