    You have to be doing some serious fishing to want to spend that on an 8wt. Speak to "Garage", he does a lot of saltwater fishing. Unless you are going for the biggies and need a hardcore rod?
    Behold the fisherman. he riseth early in the morning and disturbeth the whole household. mighty are his preperations. he goes forth full of hope and when the day is ended, he returneth smelling of strong drink and the truth is not with him. originator unknown.

    Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
    Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
    Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

    The G. Loomis ones? Nope...dunno where. Never really looked for them.
    There are other options though......
