Maybe Orvis will coop with WFF on the loaner program. Would be nice for real fisherman testing review of the rods, especially the 8 wt. I think if more fly shops had a loaner program it would help sell more product through real world use versus casting in a parking lot or a grass field.
Yes, they are the replacement for the T-3 at the same price point. The Hydros uses the same Helios blank, minus the titanium guides and graphite reel seat inserts. It is a strikingly beautiful blue. We cast the 5wt today and it's a rocket launcher just like the Helios. Tomorrow, we'll give the 8wt a workout.
This is a great rod.I cast a 5wt yesterday it is a very light rocket.It is a better rod than some of the med fast to fast rods that cost alot more money.Well worth the<$500.00.
