Okay, you gear whores...... *Any experience, comments, recommendations I have it narrowed down to the Hatch 7+ reel with a Sage Xi3 9ft 8 weight. *Expensive combo, but from what I have read, a very good one. * I have cast the Sage as well as an Orvis Helios, and find either one quite suitable for my limited experience with higher weight rods. PS: Don't rule out the ZXL from Sage, the Winston BIImx or BIIIx, or the new Loomis series. I've not played with the Xi3, but throughly enjoyed the Xi2. |

have you tossed the new loomis nrx? Just the trout rods in 3 and 4, for anglers who like fast rods and 9' lengths it seemed to be a nice rod and the four really shot the big bass popper I tossed. For a fast rod it had a good feel and you could probaly feel a fish fart. Were I in the market for another salt rod or a 9' trout rod to use out west I would consider but unless I stumble upon an old Russ Peake glass rod I am not looking to add more rods. The puppy drum do not like. Hatch reels ![]() |
