Lots of info in search using GUSA, Graphite USA. Lightest rod I fish is the 65LMXFDHX if I remember right, rated 2 - 10 lb. line. very fast, very durable as graphite rods go. Also have a few 663, 664, and 703DHXs. Also a SW70M if I remember the nomenclature right, from Billy V.
Like them all a lot. Forgot my DHX fly rods, have lasted longer that any other rods in the bush in AK, at least 12 years with zero problems, can't say the same for some big name rods, including some I own. Wear and tear in the bottom of old johnboats and flies striking rod tips are the biggest problems.
