A friend just gave up fishing due to declining health and gave me all his gear including some older Ross and Orvis reels. The rod that interests me is an 8'-6" unsanded graphite in a six weight. Marked on the butt as a "Limestone", 2-3/8 or 5/8 oz. On the blank it says "Orvis" and "Graphite" which leads me to believe it's a very early model. Haven't cast it, action resembles a Scott G I have; soft tip with a progressively stronger butt.
Looking for any information or thoughts on this rod, thinking it might pair nicely with a "true" 6 weight line, maybe a DT like a Cortland peach or Rio LT Trout in DT.
