If you can live with a 1 piece fly rod, this is one of the best sticks around, no matter how many pieces and no matter what the cost.
That sums up how I feel about them too.

Prices lowered on the one piece rods to $175 each picked up.

8 wt. is SOLD

They're gonna keep callin' us "cutters." To them, it's just a dirty word.
To me, it's just somethin' else I never got a chance to be.
