Well, I pulled the trigger on a 6wt power matrix, $250 too good a deal to pass up. They are being d/c, a new version is coming out this spring. I have lawn cast it and with a SA "trout" 6wt line and I was pretty blown away. I was afraid the tip flex would be too "broomstick", but it's not. I think the mid flex would be too whippy for my taste. I will withhold final judgement til it catches fish. They will ship for free if $50 purchase, if anyone is interested pm me. I dont want to post the website since they are not sponsors. Administrators, if I am in violation here, please delete this post and accept my appolgies.
