I'll throw in 2 thumbs up for the Bank Robber. I've got the 6wt...I bought and sold many rods looking for the perfect 6wt streamer rod. So when my friend let me try his Bank Robber...I immediately sold the latest 6wt I had and bought the Bank Robber. Throws weighted lines with big heavy flies like you dream about. An added bonus is it's also great with floating lines too. Enough flex in the tip for in close work and plenty of back bone in the butt for distance. It's hard to explain but all the other rods I tried seemed to "jerk" when the line/fly straightene out..I think it's because they were all to stiff/fast. The Bank Robber has a more forgiving tip and as a result I don't feel that jerk when casting.
