I've got two Pieroway rods (and one Pieroway reel). One of them was a demo that didn't actually go into production, as it is a 3-peice. The other one is a production rod.
The demo rod is a 3pc 8.5' 5wt. The closest blank to that is the 864-5B, I think. I've done quite a bit of casting with this one, it is a great rod

Anita Wolf (the founder of the now defunct "Reel Hookers Club") tried the rod out when she was teaching me how to cast, and she was very impressed with it. That one isn't a Bow rod, but it'll be a great stream/creek rod. It is paired with a Fenwick DCC56 reel.
I also have a 4pc. 11.5' 6wt switch rod (E1166), and that one is going to be a
killer Bow rod ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It is a beauty. I haven't played with this one much, as I want to learn how to spey cast before I use it. I suffered an injury last summer, and my physiotherapist suggested I use a switch rod so I'll have more casting options. That rod is paired with a Pieroway 7/8 reel, to make sure that there is room for plenty of backing. I would certainly look at the E1166 if you're planning to get some serious Bow time in
