Looking for a new 7 or 8 weight for Great Lakes Steelheading. I grealy
enjoy my 9' 5 weight Orvis T3, and had originally considered a second
one, but would like to diversify a bit.


Winston Boron BIIX, try it, you'll like it
T&T Helix is another nice faster action rod
Or the good old Sage XP

You didn't ask but a Harris or Ross Canyon Reel would be the ticket.

Good advice...thanks for the suggestions. I've heard many good things
about the Sage XP. I will cast one before making my final decision.

I don't think you can go wrong with either the IIx or the XP.

Have "softhackle" build you a 8 weight 10 foot winston 2bx with flur
grade cork, ceramic guides, and a titanium reelseat for $200. Heck, I
will throw in a extra $100 for a Softhackle designed winston 14 foot 7/8
weight spey rods with flur cork, ceramic guides, titanium reelseat.
