i only had about $110 to spend on a new fly rod, so i went to a local fly shop, and asked the guy if he could help my find a 5 wt. fly rod blank for about $100. so he said he has a special the only down side is its a 4 piece, and there is no warrinty. but i still liked it and decided to buy it. its a loomis GL2 i got it built, and tested it out today and loved it. it was everything i was looking for. i like that it can cast drys, and also cast streamers and still be in control.

Tell me how you like your banty, not hearing real favorable things about them. Wrong taper or other problems seem to fall into play.

Way to go!! :D :D :D :D
With your tone of excitement, I'm sure your quiver will grow and grow and grow....
