Zack where is the older rod designer who used to build fast rods and is getting older and wants a little softer action now ,i need to look him up.
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 have been lookin for a long time for a rod in 4piece design with that type of action ( original glx) i hope this is better . i have to agree it has butt ugly wraps [ must be from tournament bass anglers ] i know so little of loomis sales come from flyfishing i heard, one time they were considering droppin fly rods all together.
they maybe butt ugly but the old glx didn’t win any beauty contest but how great were they, i here they are a cats memow to cast, so i just ordered a 9′ 5 wt. yesterday. all the beauty queens are old know sage ll and tcr’s . just might get a can of black paint cover those ugly wraps.
i fished with Marc on friday and had a geat day also caught more than i could count browns up to 20 in and rainbows also and small cutts . great guide, would use him again. waded 4 different spots. my 1st to the White
i think you have to much rod for what you are wanting to fish. you say trout and smallmouth, so a 4 wt. spey would suit you better.275 to 300 grain line, closer to a 6 wt. single hand, a 4 wt.is the lightest spey made to date.
i would agree . i spent 2 days with dec last october here in tennessee. he is a great instructor, if he can teach and old fart to spey cast[ like me ]
pretty elite group i say with that price for sure [ in this economy], GUIDE what’s this!!!! in a tournament crazy. who’s the guide’s!!!!! i feel sorry for the charity. t
great trailer have owned one my self very comfortable,tow good but i would suggest double axle models . hold value well . mine was used when i sold got what i payed for it can’t beat that. wish i had it back.
the best coats &clark is summer brown color # 54a have taken lots on that color, 0n 2457 from 22 to 16 copper bead head with copper wire palmered rib with or without midge crystal flash v wing.,
you know i am 67 yrs.old been flyfishing about 40 yrs. prices has soared on everything ,we must have a price correction before the economy ever returns. having a fly shop in the early 80,s when you could buy the best of rods for $300. and reels were around $100 look at the prices know . $700 rods and $700 waders its got to end and correct it self.new truck $50,000. driftboats over $10,000. or better yet new bass boat over $60,000.
i think that the news media has a lot to do with the economy all gloom and doom it is being sensationlized .make everyone afraid to buy.
