Do you like them, or for that weight do you like a longer stick? What lines do you suggest? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks, Keith.</DIV></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

For those offended by the matte yellow finish on the Yellow Series, which reminds many of the old Eagle Claw glass rods, Loop is planning on making that entire series available in a deep blue glossy finish. Same blanks as the yellow, but in a deep blue finish. Green rods are great for overhead casting and need to be overlined to spey cast well. All the rods are very lightweight and the Green even comes with an extra tip section. Shipment into this country from Sweden has been slow, but rods should be available later this spring or early this summer..</DIV></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>
