I wish I could get it out of the tube at this point.  The tube is so flat that the rod has been pinned into the tube.  I think I’m going to need the jaws of life for this.  I figure I can hack-saw off the part of the tube that is still round…I’m not certain how to go about expanding the flattened part enough to get the rod out.  Perhaps an old bench-vise and some patience…

Just a follow-up here; I was able to cast a couple of the Scott G2’s the other day and am really liking the 8’4″ 5-wt.  I think I’m going to plunk down the dough this weekend and pick it up – think it will go well with my Abel TR/2.  Anyway, if I can manage I’ll put some pics up along with my general impressions.

I never had a problem with the strap(s).

Hi-

Yea, it’s a sweet little chest pack in my opinion.

Thanks everybody, for your take on this rod and the G2 series in general.  I’ve located a dealer locally (which for me, means a 2.5 hour drive SW) that has one in stock; I’ll be heading down next weekend to fling some line with it.

Also, I really appreciate Ian’s take on the 8’4″ 5wt. specifically – good stuff!

Thanks,
Seth

Welcome Seth!

I have never fished Vt only Skiing…Killington!

Vermont has some excellent water…some right even around the Killington area.

Hi Stan-

I’m new to this board but saw your question and thought I’d pass along what I know of the older Orvis Battenkill reels.  Jay is correct; BFR made the Battenkill.  I think Hardy also manufactured the Battenkill for a time.  Also, I’ve seen some Battenkill’s (older) that look suspiciously like a Pflueger design…
