Loop yellow 124/8wt
As chance would have it it, I took my new Loop Yellow 124/8wt out yesterday with the Rio WC 789 and tips spending about 2 hours on my lagoon going through the floater and tips with all the casts right and left hand up. I love this rod. My first intro to the Loop rod was a purchase of the Green Loop 132/9wt. The yellow is more progressive than my green, but as my casting style is evolving(and I'm a relative neophyte), my bottom hand is now about 65% of my power and I really feel the Loop rod supports this style. The rod revue for the yellow 9wt attached to which there is a brief note on the 124/8wt can be found in the rod revue section---and I fully concur with what you will find there. The series of rods I had were just too noodily--for MY(to be fair) under-hand, short-belly, evolving style. The Loop rod feels just fine, the workmanship is excellent, and bottom line, I think Loop gives you a very good bang for your buck. Being Norwegian, it takes a lot to make me say such nice things about the the Swedes!
