for what its worth..we had a little rod and reel test comparison on the river last nite..there was alot of different fly rods and reels on the pole rack last nite and we all thought wed try out each others equipment..the reel sellections were hardy..abel..orvis battenkill..sage..and pluger..the rod selection..was sage launch.sage flite ..st croix.temple fork..g..lomis and redington...the votes were unaminous..hardy and abel were a tie for the smothest reel..sage won hands down for feel..but the sage flight broke on a big king..st croix was acctually the winner for best overal ballanced rod..not as much feel but the ballance was nice..thats my story add any comments you wish..
