Anybody fishing one of these?

Mike –

The 8’8″ 5 wt. G2 has been my primary trout rod since 2006.

Zach,

That’s exactly what I was looking for in terms of both the rod and the feedback you gave.

Thanks again!

Mike,

I have 2 of these.

Mike,
I have an 8’4″ 3wt and a 9′ 5wt G2.

If I was going to buy a new trout rod, I would buy the G2 but in a 4 wt. I would use it for nymph’s and dries. I would use a 6 for streamers or in situations where it is super windy.

You can’t have just one rod, right?

Abe,

I don’t know what kind of bamboo you have, but I have a few and it wouldn’t be a fair comparison to compare the G2 to a boo stick.

Mike,

Just to make the picture a little more interesting, I noticed that Scott has reissued two G series rods as part of their Classic program.  You can get the  8’4″ G in a 4 and 5 weights right now.  I have fished both the G2 and the G (which I own in the 884 configuration) and like the G better.  I like mine with an SA XPS line, although they tend to kink up a bit.  

Cheers,

Jay

Interesting.

I need another rod about as much as I need a hole in my head, but I am thinking that 5wt G is looking pretty tempting . . .

[Juan Ramirez]

I have the Gs and the G2s in different sizes.

Here’s another G2 905-4 user.

I like it’s moderate action which allows me to do almost anything. Most of the time I’ll be fishing multi rig nymphs. But casting dry flies is just point and go. It evens handles smaller streamers (woolly bugger, etc.) excellently.

A too fast a rod would make it a bit more difficult to cast a multi rig nymph without getting tangled. It’s the smooth acceleration that keeps them nice.
