Normally to develop a rod we really think a lot the fly size and weights and the fishing scenarios involved. In this particular case, however, the prime objective was to develop a fly rod that would nail the FFI CCI and MCI exams! We certainly managed to do that and in the process have also managed to create a wonderful 7WT fishing rod, perfect for blasting out weighed streamers into banks, light to middle weight Saltwater applications and perhaps for chucking heavy nymph rigs in fast water. I often however, simply cast my HT7 on the roof of my boat for fun at night. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/1909D10D-28D7-479D-AB39-DEB7F484A67A.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/1909D10D-28D7-479D-AB39-DEB7F484A67A.jpeg 575w, https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/1909D10D-28D7-479D-AB39-DEB7F484A67A-168x300.jpeg 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 85vw, 575px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as flylines go, my key line for the development of this rod was the Mastery Expert Distance 7 (MED7) \u2013 the less garish and more&nbsp;&nbsp;aesthetically-pleasing SA Trout (it\u2019s green!) is a very similar taper.
