I don't move in those circles FC. Actually I have the Vision GT 2/4 very nice reel, just never seen the CDC, I must investigate.
This one I think.

it was on a immitation pellet,hand made by cork and counterweighted. the reel is a vision cdc 7/8 ,i sold it a while back and missed it so i bought it back off the buyer yes the 5wt did bend nicely but it has some backbone. it will be tested on 20lb'ers in the spring at my favorite sopt on a river "somewhere"
