Re: First Switch Rod
Well based on this I think I might ask for a Classic 6/7 and steel head 9wt line....SA line should work the same should it not?

Re: First Switch Rod
What about the St. Croix Imperial. I noti6ed Fly Fisherman Mag gave it best value?
I wish the Orvis Access came in a 6wt. I think that could be a great bang for the buck rod.

Re: albright rods
Some sporting goods stores somehow get their own models. I bought a North Face tent from one with a model name that didn't exist anywhere else. I wonder if Albright didn't do the same thing.

Re: Loomis guru or Orvis large arbor battenkill?
I've never heard of a Loomis Guru....Lamson Guru I have.
The Ross F1 retails for $450+ so it is not even close to the same price range.

Re: sage Z-Axis question
I just recently bought a 9' 5wt z-axis and love it. I'd recommend a 1/2 wt heavier line line Rio Grand or SA GPX. As far as length I'd agree with TTB that a 9' will work better for nymphing but if...

I have only been using Allen line but I think this rod might benefit from a wt1/2 higher line like Rio Grand or SA GPX.
I'm really tempted to try...

Re: Sage Warrenty Switchup - this is not my rod?
