Just got this rod over the weekend. 12 ft 7/8 Loop Multi, with a Evotec reel (Sick) and Outbound line. This rod will fill my smaller steelhead river niche; such as the Methow, Ronde, Wenatchee, Hood, etc..
I don't know what I did wrong, but obviously the pics aren't showing up, and it won't let me fix it from the edit page. Anyone??

That rod looks like a dream. Wowza!!
In all seriousness, I don't know why you can't edit the thread but you can upload the pics in the gallery section if that works.

Nice setup! Panhandle...
I want one too!
Now you just need a fish place beside the rod... any field test available yet?

Crump had a few of those Loop Multi's over at the Sandy Clave this year, and they seemed like really nice rods. But I would like to get into something a little lighter for the summer water, I had my 12'6" 8 wt over on the eastside a couple of weeks ago, and after the initial 30 seconds it was kind of the old crank and crane kind of deal. I wish Loop made a few more in the 6/7 range.

There will be a full array of trout and sumer run speys coming out over the next year or so.

Sweet, it looks like us summer run chasers are going to have a lot of options in the near future. Good to hear.

That's really sweet! It surely will encourge me to shoot more streamer and wet flies!
Looking forward to it! :beer2:

That's a good looking rod. What grain/weight outbound do you like throwing with it?
My light outfit is a CND 6/7 Solstice. I've been thinking about getting something lighter. I cast a Meiser switch rod at Aaron's gig last weekend. I was pretty impressed.
