 I'll start us off...
In a recent "line tasting" at the SWE we cast the 8, 9, and 10 wt 9-foot versions of the gloomis cross current line. Now I have a freshwater background and found the 8 weight to be really comfortable. I think it would be a good "transition" rod from the fresh to the salt just based on the way it loaded. While it may not have cast as far as the other two I felt a greater sense of being "in controll" w/ the ability to put the line where I wanted to. |
