The 1141 started as a fly rod right? Any idea what weight rod was originally used?
Thanks.

The original 1141 was a 9 1/2' 6 wt regular graphite fly blank. It was then changed to a 7wt. Gary Loomis then redesigned the tip to make it more efficient for drift fishing. I think this is still the current design.
