As I mentioned in my post Josh “I take all this with a grain of salt”. I could really care less what he personally says about the rod. I know well of his bias as it is well documented all over the place for those who look.
What that report did for me is put the weight, price and a pretty decent list of contending rods in one place. I am fortunate to have access to casting most on the list and make my own choice.
So I cast the rod along with several as mentioned. To my surprise…I liked the Hardy. I would not have even picked up the Hardy as it had never been on my radar. Fortunately in this case IMHO I agree and I love the rod.
“rods which it does carry are all at the top of the list.”
Josh – he carries Sage, Loomis, Winston, TFO, Orvis, Hardy, Greys, St Croix. Redington….
The rods he carries better be on that list. Other than Scott there isn’t much else out there. If I recall correctly the S4 got tops 3 or 4 years ago and in 2007 the G2 did better than the BII.
Don’t get me wrong Josh, I’m not trying to defend him but with all due respect your comments are kinda….harsh.
I do not have a ring in my nose, and as you have seen in my past posts – I am a proud Scott rod aficionado. 😉
Sorry Zach, I did say Josh…Last time on here was talking to Josh about Chile.
Wierd though…not even a clue I did that. Perhaps the Josh / Zach thing is a visual brain fart. Sorry. No disrespect intended.Zach, I used the Kumho test. as I was considering non-scientific expert opinion. Seemed to work for me this time as it allowed me to use my own discretion.;)
