Jim I have one and use it for most of my river work on the big rivers (wets and bugging) and I use it on Carron for the dries, its soft enough for the small browns but it will also handle the bows. The only criticism is that the top splice keeps slackening off, I Tried taping it but it still twists and I have lost some of the varnish due to the taping
