This last Saturday at the Expo, I met up and talked to Justin from Allen's Fly Fishing.
We talked of rods and I mentioned I prefer a Mid flex. He hands me the a ATS. This thing is not only beautiful it is smooth as butter.
I had to have it, do I got the 9' 6wt. 4 piece and I loaded it up with the Red Allen Trout Reel.

Lately I have been addicted to Carp, but I have been using an 8 wt. I remember back with TD I landed four large carp on a 6 wt Glass rod, so I had to try the ATS.
This was the first one landed but the second fish as the first one was HUGE and stood straight up out of the water and a mity shake threw the barbless hook. That thing was big. I have never seen a carp do this. I mean straight up, whole body.
Anyway I landed a few and I am stoked about this rod. 32"er
