Beautiful hybrid.

That's a beauty. I think Snakebite has got it. Looks like a gillcracker to me: RES x BG.

Carl, the SC , particularly the Imperial line are lighter . A lot lighter in some some sizes . IIRC the 7' 3wt 4 piece is only 2.1oz. . The BVK's by TFO are light , but not like the Imperials . I'd
Iike to have the 8' 4wt. in the Imperial .
