    i was casting a 7wt z-axis at the fair, it was definetly a cannon. also i really like the distance of casting the scott S4 in a 6wt. a switch rod should also be helping getting them casts way out their.

    9' 6wt classic GLX, can't beat the matte black. Outbound short, if you can haul, get an outbound.

    Little canon...4100 z axis

    Little bigger canon....4110 deer creek switch, outbound line or afs..

    Big canon...Meiser 11'7 5/6 switch..Bob's line and/or outbound...

    So far only cast Bob's line...overhead that thing freaking flies!!!!

    (also just picked up a 9'6 rpl 7wt man that thing feels like it will throw some junk too)

    I love my 9' 7wt CC GLX coupled with an outbound, but I think my favorite is the 11' 7wt Native Run GLX overlined with an 8 wt outbound. I even use it from my boat sometimes, tons of fun.
