thanks mario,nice list there...i see only one rod there gets a 10,and thats the txl...are there other rods that you would give a 10 that you dont currently have?

lol, mine are a bit inferior as I have only been flyfishing for almost 2 months but have 6 currently....will upgrade to Gloomis NRX's though....just believe in them....they make up half of my bass rods and if they built the best bass rod in world I am sure they build the best fly rod too....they wouldnt put the Gloomis name on it if it wasn't....cast two Sages this weekend....a 1 and then some limited edition Sage thingy....just doesn't stir my soul like the NRX LP...not even by a long shot....

TXL got a 10 ito application suitability. The other 10 would be a ZXL 486 in my book. The ESN 2100 is VERY close to a 10 too. Another 9.99 was the T&T Whisper Lite in a 8'0 4-weight. Winston BiiX 3-weight also blew me away!! Tempted to give it a 10.5. Old SPL was another 10-er.
