I'm trying to fall in love and so far it hasn't been going too well...
Basically there are simply too many great rods on the market.
I'm looking to buy a high-end 8wt to compliment my 10wt GLX - I love the way the 10wt casts can send a shooting head further than I can see and I just know I'm not close to testing the potenial of the rod.
I busted my elbow and wrist a few months ago, and I doubt I'll be able to do the heavy weight blind casting that I generally do in the spring - so I figure its time I learned a new trick, maybe even try this sight fishing thing I've heard so much about.
So I was wondering how do you guys choose your rods - I would perfer to test cast them but so far I haven't found places that carry the rods I want to cast - maybe its the time of year or maybe there are just too many of them. Reading reviews doesn't offer much help since realistically all these rods are great.
So Far I've cast the Sage XI2 the Winston XTR and Boron iix but I haven't found a dealer that had the Loomis Cross Current, Scott rods or T&T.
Have any suggestions on rods I defintely don't want to miss, or any other advise I'd be most appreciative.
