I like the Scott G2 for exactly the reason Mr. Castwell hints at. Most softer action rods lack the power to deal with the wind. I like slower rods for bigger, heavier, and/or air resistant flies because it lets you open up the cast a little easier and spare the back of your head, especially in the wind, but they do ask for a little more from the caster. Power for distance is often lost in those rods. The G2 (as well as the E2) seem to have plenty of power to handle such situations though. I don't have much experience with Scott rods with sinking lines, but I don't see why it shouldn't handle them just fine.

That's my two cents anyway.
