Given that Hardy has introduced two fast action cannons, the days of
the slow rod have to be numbered. One of the Loomis reps in the group
normally fishes with a GLX but on casting the Hardy Gem, he fell in
love and said that were it not for his Loomis affiliation, he would
toss his GLX for the Gem.

The Hardy Gem was the first "spey" rod I cast that made
spey casting seem almost easy to me.


I've casted about 30 odd spey rods over the past few years, including
all of the top names, and IMHO the Hardy Gem with the right line on
it, is the best of the bunch.
