Thanks for the responses. Looks like the Brigg is too hot. NRS is still on the table.
NIB, I looked at the all the gortex stuff at Cabela's in the special edition catalog and the website - it's official, I'm now blind. There was a ton of stuff, and in the end I think I will be getting it quite wet and everthing thing I saw was a jacket type. I noticed you have one like Redsox Ticket (read on).
Redsox Ticket, I reviewed your post on the Petrus 763 and I'm quite intertested:

Based on your post I looked at the 762 again in the Surfcaster. If the 763 is even better, I think I'm getting close to picking one up. It looks like you got it and used it last season. How far did you push the envelope with this?
Thanks again, Chris
