Jim:

I really look forward to being able to talk to you both in person for a change. I try to cast "all" the new rods at the show. If you see something I should take a look at let me know.

Loomis will have a hard time doing much more than they have with the Stream Dance and the new spey line. Although I talked with them last week and apparently Steve is working on a "Proline" of high performance rods. Hopefully I'll get a chance to work with him on a distance rod and a European nymphing rod as well. I don't expect anything on that until next year though.

See you there. Lets have some coffee together.

John
