Grant, I’m a PA guy, and no offense has been taken.

[anonymous]

Yeah, I need to spend a day with you fellas, you can show me how you get such great shots.

awesome report.

[anonymous]

Kelly,

Oh yeah, I did mention it on the other thread.

[anonymous]

Kelly, how the hell did you know about two broken sticks?

[anonymous]

mines a 7/8 wt  11ft 3in  tfo tcrx  

Hi, you probably want something like a 9/10 wt then.

[anonymous]

for my spey rod.

No disrespect,

[anonymous]

i really like the looks of the scott g2 wish they were a little faster, my favorite rod of late has been 490 sage xp(someone stoll it from my car) and sage is bringing it back in 2011 with gen 5 tech. will be vxp in $500. price. loomis says they will have trout rods in the shops next week,warrenty one time break $50.repair after that replacement for each section will be $100.00 or more, i guess no more lifetime.

I read in the 2011 catalog that the nrx has a “wild card” program where the first fix is free.

…

Loomis = Steve Rajeff
Echo = Tim Rajeff
Sage = Jerry Siem

Those three gentlemen are large individuals, physically strong people.

Scott Rods = Jim Bartschi
Winston = formerly Sam Drukman, currently Annette McLean (the only lady rod designer right now)
Orvis = Jim LePage

Not to cast aspersions on anyone’s physicality, but those three are noticeably more lightly built in stature and/or upper body strength.  LePage and Bartschi are both athletic but on the shorter side compared to the top three.

…

I have often thought about this… and do I want a rod that’s designed by a distance casting champ, or by a top fisherman???I think I would rather want a fishing rod and not a casting rod…

I do not know much about Steve Rajeff, but maybe he is a badA** master flyfisherman as well as one of the top fly casters??

Let’s get serious.

If their new rods are so exceptional, why didn’t anybody tell their boss(?) that the color combo is butt ugly? Why not put the best marketing gig on earth to promote it at the very best way?

The owner Shimano surely has some marketing budget for such a high end fly rod company’s high end rods?

Makes me think back about Fenwick’s Ironfeather rod series. Fenwick & Ironfeather went down the drains…

I think it is a AWESOME color.

A few more to add

[anonymous]

I’ll give free advice for an invite for doves.

kidding.

[anonymous]

I’ve got a few more on the home computer.  But here is one I could dig up…

[anonymous]

thanks guys.

[anonymous]
