Maurer Headwaters Rod: 6'3"/4-5 Weight
#1I have interest in purchasing a George Maurer Headwaters 6'3", 4-5 wt. rod. Does anyone currently own one or fished one in the past? I would appreciate any information that you give me about the rod. I have never owned or fished a six footer. I currently have several very nice 7 footers: a Jenkins GA70L and an Orvis 7/4, which both fish the Driftless Area streams with ease. Love hearing from you here. Thanks! Nick

#2Nick, Bob Selb, the dealer from Classic Fly Fisherman has a Mauer Headwaters Rod listed on his website. I think it’s #14 on the 1st page of his on line catalog. Just google Classic Fly Fisherman. Good luck. Jed

#3It’s a fairly powerful rod. I moved mine along since I have no reason to have a 6’3” 5 wt powerful caster. I prefer a midge clone in that length. But if you are flinging salmonflies to brawny trout in a creek, the Maurer rod might be for you. Iirc, the one I owned had quite a swelled butt for a short rod
