I've been on holiday for 4 years Lars. :D Andy, yes the first one is neater, but I was being diplomatic :p. 4 years ago I would have told you to measure each leg with a micrometer, but I just think sparse (ok, and neat :) ) is better.

Fuck! Being away from here's done some really wierd things to my flytying! :-)

Hi Andy

5 ft is fuck all, not a problem. Didn't paul say 85 is optimum for that line recently? In any case you'll be throwing back more weight with the MED, that's why it feels harder.

I'd go with that, but closer to the XP than the TCR. Nice rods.

XP will go well into the 120's but that's it's limit. The TCR at 125 still has loads to give.
