THIS is why you cannot leave us alone with the wolves. Elegantly written, backhand insults, and visual aids - how DO you fit so much in such a small package?  -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj

I've got a 7wt T&T Vector and it is a nice rod. It broke the 2nd day I fished with it in the Baltic, and just 3 short months later T&T got it repaired and back to me. Make sure you have a backup rod, just in case. g I'd recommend a Scott HeliPly if they still made them. -- Charlie...

I love my little Winstons, but the biggest stick in my bag is a 10' 7wt Thomas & Thomas XL. And I think I still have Wayne Knight's blank check around here someplace too. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry

T&T is one of the top US fly rod manufacturers.
Sage (Xi2), G.Loomis (GLX CC), Scott (S3s) and Winston (Boron XII) also have very fine rods. Sometimes you have to actually cast them all to see which one fits your casting style best. A 9' #8, 4 piece would be the number one pick for a bonefish rod. -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA, USA Web site: www.kiene.com "John" wrote in message news:Vfm7c.13413$F91.4749@lakeread05...
