#Description
The Sir Darryl Special blank embodies a legendary taper profile, where the delicate 0.067"-0.152" progression across the first 30" delivers unmatched sensitivity for 4wt line control, while the assertive 0.244→0.316" butt swell (60-80") provides decisive stopping power against wary spring creek trophies. Its moderate-fast action creates a progressive flex zone through the first 50" (max 0.214" deflection) transitioning to reserved power in the final 30", achieving deep load engagement during casting strokes while maintaining crisp tip recovery.
Crafted from hand-selected Tonkin bamboo through six-strip construction, each blank undergoes 72-hour stress testing. Precision-machined 18% nickel silver ferrules maintain 0.003" tolerance for seamless fit. The standard water-based varnish protects the natural bamboo luster, while weight-conscious builders may opt for raw unfinished blanks.
