What rod would you want if the manufacturer would give you one? (bamboo excluded)

[Byron haugh]

I really wonder if folks would be fishing with their current rod if they were allowed to have any rod they might wish at no cost to them.

Those are the rods I would like to know about.

I would like an 11ft 3WT 4 piece switch rod.

I would like a Sweetgrass 8ft 3/2 5wt

Sage XP, 6wt!

One of my dream rods is either a Sage, or Orvis 3wt. I could never afford one, but I can still dream.......

Back in 2000(?) I bought a Loomis GLX 9' 5wt. It was a great rod and in the right hands could outcast just about any stock rod. However, I just wasn't able to cast it too well and I ended up selling it at the end of that year. Well, I've learned a little nit about casting since then and I've improved sufficiently to the point that I've since cast a few of those rods, much to my great satisfaction. So, in answer to your question, I would really like to have the Loomis GLX (or its updated version) in a 9 foot, 5 wt, 2 or 4 piece.

Well my handle is sagefisher and it is not because I am a wise person

Except for my two bamboo rods, I fish with Sage fly rods. Which rod? Now that is a very difficult question. Let's see: I love my Circa but then also my ZXL and my VPS Light and my XP's and.......... so many rods, so little time.

I have always wanted a Joan Wulff special made by Winston 8 1/2 ft, 5wt, 4 piece. I love the indent for the thumb and the way the rod just feels when casting.
