Does it have any other features other than being light? He said the 9' 5wt weighed about 2 1/2 oz. I'm not sure what about means here, but I have a Winston BIIt 9' 5wt that weighs 2 5/8 oz.
So, there must be more than weight to draw customers to pay $755?
Barnum was right
Just another fly rod.
Really, how 'good' does it need to be?
Barnum wasn't just correct, he was prophetic.

Wow,
You guys really know how to bust a guy's bubble. I was already preparing the wife for the outlay of cash. I thought if I bought a $770+ rod that I would have 20" trout jumping into my net on command. :D
Seriously, how much "better" can this rod be than my Scott G2 or Sage SLT? In fact, how much better is the Scott or Sage I have than a TFO or Cabela's house brand?
At some point, it just becomes bragging rights.
I play guitar and with guitars, once you get past a price point (about $2,000) there really is not much difference that the audience can hear or the musician can feel.

Tough crowd! :shock: :lol:
Jeff,
I also wonder about the issue you raised.
Randy
Imagine the business dilemna a rod manufacturer would be in if it developed a rod so "perfect" that you'd never have to buy another one!
