Hook and Hackle has a good sale going on on their XT 51 blanks and kits,
40% off. The kits come with VERY nice componants (all titanium) and make
up a
fine rod. I build a 7' 9" 3 weight this Summer to replace my Three Forks
(which I never liked). The XT is VERY light and powerful for a three
weight. Fun little rod. Thinking about getting a 9' seven weight kits
before they go off sale.

For the lazier in the group that might want an eight weight, look at the
Powell rod site. I have never fished a Powell rod, but at $80 it was too
good to pass up. It is my mission to hook some Coho on a fly this year on
the Oregon coast.
