Is there any such thing as a fast 7’6” 2 weight taper? I was interested in something with a tip hinge ALA the Sir D. Any suggestions? (Lee Orr)

I'm not sure what you mean by a tip hinge, the Sir D Favorite is what some people call "tippy", but that's one aspect that makes it a good dry fly rod. The Sir D does have a "hinge" (for want of a better word) in the butt section to aid in roll casting.

Are you sure you want a 2 weight? I made a couple 2 weights quite a few years ago and came to conclusion that except in a few specialized conditions anything less than a 3 weight is difficult to cast unless the air is perfectly still. A gentle breeze blows the cast totally away from where you intend it to go. You can power it through like when casting a 5 or 6 weight in a strong wind, but then you negate the reason you wanted to use a 2 weight in the first place, and you end up working harder than if you had a 4 weight.

I used the 2 weights I made a few times, but when the novelty wore off I found that I prefer the higher weight lines, nothing less than a 4 weight. (Darryl Hayashida)
