This 7ft 2pc 5wt bamboo blank features the legendary Cross Bataviakill taper, blending a delicate 0.062"-0.168" tip transition for dry fly presentation with a robust 0.301" butt section reinforced by 18% nickel silver ferrules. Crafted from 3-year air-cured Tonkin bamboo using 6-strip construction, it delivers 40% increased flexural strength compared to traditional quad builds. The fluid dynamics-optimized balance point ensures superior line control in 15-45ft casting ranges, excelling in medium-current rivers requiring precise roll casts. Ideal for presenting size 12-18 dry flies while maintaining backbone for smallmouth bass. Standard water-based varnish protection applied, with unfinished option for custom finishing.
