Forgiven, you like STIFF fast action rods/poles from you description. I don't agree with there being a "LITTLE" difference between a Streamdance GLX and a TFO TiCr, but they are both Fast with the TFO being more....clunky LOL
How much finesse can you get with this canon's? I know they can shoot into next week, but I feel a slower action is better for finesse......just me.[/quote]
You guessed it! I LUV them fast action flyrods 'cause the fish are always WAY OVER THERE are they not? LOL![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
For me a fast action rod, be it spin, bait casting or fly is more sensitive. I can "feel" better it seems. A slow tip seem to dampen the feel a bit. Visuals might be easier with the slow tip but hey to each his own! There is an outfit for everybody out there.
Flygoddess, I agree that the GLX is a better rod in many ways than the Temple Fork offering and I know an expert caster like yourself can tell the differance but the GLX costs three times as much! I don't think it is three times better. But hey that is just my opinion. I don't think the average caster can tell the differance.
But hey I like a good deal and honestly that is part of the attraction of the Temple Fork & Cabelas rods for me! [
] I got my 9' 5wt G. Loomis GLX for just under $200.00 in an employee rod deal through my brothers fly shop before he closed. I got my 9' 5wt Temple Fork from the Cabela's Bargan Cave for $50.00. My next fly rod will probably be a Cabelas L-Tech (Brother works there so I can get a deal and hey! I love a deal! LOL) Go cast one see what you think. I'll do the same & we can post head to head reviews! that would be fun
