6 Pounder on a 2WT Dorber
Hi guys
I thought you okes might like this. I went out with Daryl yesterday to some place in the mountains somewhere in North West Province.
We started fishing the stream with 2 Weights and later moved up to a dam.
Lost 2 fish and not long I hooked into this beauty.
This fish was caught on Daryl's custombuilt 2wt Dorber built by Mario(Smallstreams.co.za) complete with the trademark off centre tip top. Good fish on a good rod... Well done Mario!
Please note the rod in the background.

Thanks ET! Those Dorbers are great rods for the price you pay. I still need to get myself one of those 2-weight and convert to a 4-piece! The action of those blanks are super, I love em!!!!
