The only Metolius I've fished is the little 7-footer I reported on. Like you, I favor the 3-piece setup ... and this one is very well done. Let me hasten to add that I am not a fan of Scott so I cannot comment on what the differences might be. Doug |

Re: G.Loomis StreamDance Metolius - By Doug Macnair
I also have found many Scott rods that I'm not big on, but the one's I like I really like. The split is probably about 50/50. Most of the one's I haven't liked are either too stiff in the tip and then softer in the middle, or hard not to throw a tailing loop with. I love the HP's, G's, and the original Eclipse's though.

Re: G.Loomis StreamDance Metolius - By Doug Macnair
Doug, good info. I purchased a Metolius 5 wt for fishing the White and Norfork Rivers in Arkansas. I fished 3 of my 5 days with this fine rod. I really like it. It slings out line great even in some windy conditions - and it was windy! It handled a nice 2 1/2 lb brown on it really well and protected the tippet well. I would say this is a medium to fast rod but whatever it is it is very light, sensitive, and balanced. I hope to get a 6 or 7 wt if I get to go to Montana next year. I would highly recommend this rod. I also fished with my Winston Vapor and was very pleased with it also.
