Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Gifted Phillipson Fly Rod

A good friend had two identical 3M-Phillipson Epoxite EF 76 fly rods, in their respective aluminum travel tubes - he handed me one of them the other day and said "Here, you can have one of these"!

He's not a fly fisherman or even a very interested fisherman at all and I suspect the rod he has still in his possession will never be fished.

I had it out last night for inspection and to see just what I had on my hands and realized that there is no line weight information. I googled the rod and got plenty of feedback, but still nothing to indicate which line would be recommended....?

It's a glass rod, of course. Plenty light and obviously a much slower cast that any of my graphite's.
I don't own a 6 weight rod, but have 3, 5 and 7 weights that I can steal the reels off of to try on the Phillipson - and I guess that's the way to get started....

Any of you know much about these rods and what line weight might be appropriate?
