I understand that many folks really like the slow rods, hence the
comments about glass and boo. I, on the other hand, like a really
fast rod (for 4wt or heavier). I use an ADG Titan 8' 4wt. Its my
favorite rod and Roger Olsen declared it "dangerous." This after
watching him blast multiple casts across to the far bank at the Cabin
Run at Penns (and yes, it is an 8 foot 4wt)!
Question, what other brand/model fly rods are on the market that you
would consider really fast? Someone handed me their "fast" T&T that
felt slow as molasses. Looking at the market for Xmas and want to
narrow down the field (though I may just go and get ADG).

If you want a really fast rod then go for the TCR ( Sage). I have only
cast the #5 and #7 weights, and these are probably the fastest
production rods I have handled. They are not only fast action, but
also extremely fast recovery rods, and when matched with the right
line are really "cannons". I don´t think they are really ideal fishing
rods, but they are great for casting.
