Has anyone casted the 14' 8/9 GL3. I decided to sell this new Orvis Spey rod I got since I already own two of them, and was wondering what one was more powerful and would be a better rod for tips/heads? I know the Orvis has a mid-flex rating of 7.0, and is not the fastest rod, and is 12'6" in length. Although I have never casted the GL3, I have heard from some it is progressivly fast, others it is stiff, others it is slow..... The GL3 is 14', I don't mind the length since I already have some 12'6" speys. If anyone has casted both and could give me some opinions I would appreciate it. I cannot find this rod in the flyshops in my area, that is why I ask. Also, I have $370 to spend, does anyone know if a Loop rod is worth trying, I don't know where to get one and what the price range is.
Also, I would be balancing it with a Ross 6 or Harris V depending.
