    Talking A little gem...

    You can throw your Sage, his Loomis and my Thomas & Thomas into the sea. (Popcorn is on the stove...). What you really want is one of these...





    Got delivery of my new friend for next years year long South American mission and it is AMAZING! Smooth, responsive and powerfull yet progressive, dementive, obsessive and just about any other adjective you want to throw at it. Nice understated look with pucker finishes. Makes my T&T seem sleepy and sloppy (which is good in some circumstances) and as a 5 pc set-up in a travel situation throwing flies like these...



    at fish like this...



    I think I have a winner!

    PS: This post was posted post a great lawn casting session at a distant fence (post), spent partly on this planet and partly in the clouds while imagining where this little stick life would take it. All views on this rod are my own.

    Looks like you've got yourself a keeper there....very sweet looking rod! I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of the places it takes you to. Enjoy!

    Great looking rod, hackle. Forgive me if there is another post on somewhere else, but what is this year long South American mission you talk about?

    Kind regards,
