Dave Weaver has one and he loves it. With all flyrods the proof is in the casting. If you cannot cast a rod at a shop don't buy it. I have fond memories of casting on the pond at Fly Fishing Adv in Midrand, hours spent with Derrek and Keith and even testing lines. pity we have to have shops in the urban jungle.

I have a 5wt Stream Dance. You are welcome to have a cast with it , if you want. It is the High Line Speed model. It is a beauty to cast , and certainly has the ability to bully fish.
PM me if you want to try it , if it helps . I am in Fourways , JHb.

Nothing wrong with that.

A great fast action, responsive rod to spoil yourself with. Enjoy the experience!

Which of the two would be better suited for still water! The high line speed or the max!

I prefer the HL speed for still water, as fishing dry flies/nymphs in Sterktontein and the Max for light saltwater and for LM yellows and bass with intermediate lines and top water bugs on a floater.

I have a Streamdance GLX 5wt Max - brilliant rod. I have several other 5 wt rods including TCR, XP, Gatti etc and I find myself fishing with the Streamdance in all applications more and more...A real casting and fish fighting tool...
