For most jobs it feels like a DT in a way as he Belly is 20m long. The distance casters hold this in the air. Fascinating to watch. Sweden is not far. You can use Ryanair to Stockholm Skavsta. Dirt cheap. I live close to that airport. From here one can go to many destinations within a days drive. Drop me an email if you want to hook something up. to fuel the appetite - :-) http://gallery.me.com/thomas.zuellich#100140/DSCF1635&bgcolor=black Cheers, Thomas Hi,

It's actually a great fishing line, and I don't really bother with the distance casting any more. I like double taper lines normally, and it feels a bit like one for most fishing distances. Thanks for dropping by Thomas, have a nice day. One day I'll make it to Sweden, it's high up on my dream destinations list. I've seen a number of articles with giant grayling which have wet my appetite. Hi Thomas, I like the SA Expert Distance, which I bought with the rod from Ebay in the US.

I've tried my pals SLT, and it certainly feels a bit wobbly compared to the XP. But, I must say, I think I'd probably be more happy actually fishing the SLT more of the time that the XP these days. I've gone a bit soft again... Hi Mat,

thanks for making a comment. I’ve tried my pals SLT, and it certainly feels a bit wobbly compared to the XP. But, I must say, I think I’d probably be more happy actually fishing the SLT more of the time that the XP these days. I’ve gone a bit soft again…

I think a few of us are put off by the 'for experts only' label. The rod is good, very good, and makes even my casting look shit hot! Matt Mike,

If you're interested, I'd check out http://www.superbob.org/CC.htm<br /><br />which lists the rod along with many others.

That's right, it's a bit more tippy, and somewhat stiffer in the butt section compared to my previous rods. It's certainly not rediculously fast. To me it feels just about ideal for my casting style and fishing requirements on the larger rivers. The biggest difference is that it just feels like I have so much more control, and can make the line do what I want. Hi Ed.

Does it have a number for the flex like Orvis rods do? Very nice. So the faster rod, is more of a tip flex, right? Does it have a number for the flex like Orvis rods do?
