I doubt if I'll ever use it, but give us a personal report if you do get
it.

I had my buddy, Bob, at Sierra Anglers order me one ( I wanted the stealth
blue/gray color and he only had chartreuse ) with the comment, "If nothing
else it will give you something to tease me about for years to come .....
'Remember that time you spent $100 for a fly line !!!,.... har, har '


I don't believe 'casting' proves much, so it will be well into the summer
before I've fished it enough to decide whether it was worth the bucks ....
I'll let ya know what I decide when I make up my mind

The reports i've read say the line will cut your fingers after a day of
fishing it. I guess it's rough enough to wear little cuts in your
stripping finger. I also read there is a distance gain(only one report I
read said he didn't gain any distance), floats really well, and mends
like a demon.....since it floats so high. Like you, i'm was tempted, but
I will wait for your report. ;-)

heah California dude ... I thought about you yesterday ..... I drove the 35
miles to the TwoWallowMe (sp?) only to cause ( I'm convinced I was the
cause ) gale winds and never took a rod out of the case. Still had nice
walk on the river, saw one or two rises in the white caps.
