I loaned a friend in Utah my Scott G 905/4 (9' 4-piece 5wt) rod a few months ago, and he promptly had it stolen from his truck. He's going to replace it, but Scott no longer offers the G-series rods, having replaced them with the G2 rods. I can still get a new old stock or used G rod, or I could get a new G2 (it would be a 905/4). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to cast the new G2, so I was hoping some of you here could give me your take on the difference between the two. In partictuar, what is different about the G2 than the original G-series (outside of cosmetics), and which, in your opinion, is the better rod.

Thanks!
