FFSake, I was just wondering if they were...............................Ok Ok I did get a 4wt but purely from a experimental standpoint.
Not sure as I only had 50 odd casts with it (hard to put the TXL down).
Initially the shape/ contour felt unnatural in the hand shortly followed by the sense that it was a larger 'half wells' profile than I was used to on a #4 (I only like slim/ish half wells on smaller # rods & have tried ones where they feel too thick) but this was no doubt due to the fact that the 'points' of the hexagon made it feel larger. Then I got the feeling that there was a rubbing against the '3rd pad'
(meaty bit that protects the Proximal Phalanx
) of the index finger on my right hand where one of the 'points' touches - but that could just have been the bitter cold.
That said It did feel that I got used to it and wasn't left dissapointed.
Need to give it more time.
