Last week I have received CND Solstice 14’3” 7/8/9 and 13’4” 6/7/8.
While 14’3” has still plastic wrap on the grip and was cast only with a grass leader, 13’4” has already caught two nice steelheads. The 6/7/8 has truly exceeded my high expectations. Dream with 6/7 Rio MidSpey , 6/7/8 WindCuter with T-3 tip cast very well too.
Another interesting combination is WindCutter 6/7/8 with 12’ Rio Powerflex leader ( 24lb) in 5.6” and 7” per sec sinking rate in place of the tip 1. Weight of this leader are 86 and 98 gr. respectively; witch is very close to 95gr. of original wt. 7 tip.
Both leaders are noticeable thinner and 3’ shorter then the original tip, which allow them to cut through water like a knife.
The 13’4” is nothing but stiff, has a light speed recovery rate and very, very sweet progressive feel.
I hope to give report on 14’3” hopefully in the near future.
