    Hi Gents –

    As promised, blogging from the Fly Tackle Retailer show.

    Zach there’s an Awesone Hyde (looks new) for sale in your area, or your old area for $3700. Look for it at FAOL.

    Am I the only one that’s disappointed by Ross discontinuing the Canyon series?

    Zach if you get a chance to cast the new Sage rods I would be interested in your opinion of them. I have a Sage reel laying around waiting for a rod. I’ve been holding off because I figured they might come out with something this year.

    Well, the Sage Z-Axis is definitely no one’s dog beater.

    Zach,

    You are killing us gear junkies. How about a more in-depth review of the new Sage rod?

    1) What model did you cast?

    2) Was it lighter than the XP, smoother, more powerful?

    3) What does it look like?

    4) is it more like the TCR or the SLT?

    Personally I think the Winston BIIX with a bit more umph/stiffness would be the perfect rod!

    Matt,
    I’m a Big Game fan but I’m not all that upset.

    Zach,

    By any chance, have you got a look at the G2 907/4?

    Guys I’m covering the show for American Angler and I’m basically running full speed all day, so I apologize for the terse reviews.

    More from the show:

    1) The Ross Momentum replacement for the Canyon BG looks like a stripped-down Abel.

    Zach,

    Have you cast a T. L. Johnson rod and if so what was your opinion of its performance and workmanship?

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Actually I saw all the new Lamson stuff today and it is damn sexy.

    No suprise that new Ross is ugly, the Big Game isn’t the best looking reel out there but its certainly better than most of the others in the Ross lineup.

    #12812

    Ok, enough about the new tackle releases.

    #12813

    Just a few thoughts from Zach’s dispatches…

    Simms G4’s priced at $700!!!

    #12814

    The Freestone has been discontinued for a while now.
