I’ve owned this 102 for several years now and first time fished her this spring
I know too many rods well I sold several this year more to go so that I fish all the rods I have not just look at them
She is everting they say she is just casts itself
Nice fish I caught as well

You are a fortunate man to fish a classic. I have only a clone, a George Guba 102H, but it casts beautifully and very smoothly, so I think the taper must be pretty close to right.
