:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Read at the bottom of their web page...being introduced in August of 2010.....One single cast will change everything....

Whoever thought fly rods would ever have new models every year like ski equipment...they don't innovate that quickly that you are going to miss out on something.... I can lay a sweet dry out with my little Orvis T-3 4wt. and I use my old Sage RPL 5 wt along the beaches. Both very fine rods. Yes, I want a couple new rods still, but only because I'm beginning to wear mine out. Don't get too hasty. Save your money for gasoline for fly fishing trips!....or your Non-resident fising license for Oregon at $106.25!!!

Did I miss something - nowhere does it even say this is a fly rod (don't forget they make gear rods too).

Why wait until August. Bring the damn thing out now. Hell, they are talking about it. So bring it out.

It doesn't take that long to build a rod. The sites own makers, can make one faster that August.

Just remember, it's all about marketing and exposure... Say something provocative , and the world starts chirping, and when they show up on the shelf , me trample each other like a bunch of fools to get them...
They make killer sticks already...

Oh good, another super fast wunder rod. I'll bet it'll be 1/64 ounce lighter than the next lightest competitor, and 0.25% stiffer.

And then they'll have ads in all of the fishing magazines with gnar-gnar guys pointing toothy fish at the camera. Fish and fisherman will wear speed-metal scowls. It'll be x-treem.

Built using the newset most expensive composite known to man. Guarnteed to make you cast further with a single haul, and the ladies will love ya! And we build one for nymphing, one for streamers, one for dries.................:hmmm:

maybe its an 18 piece rod you can break down a carry in your back pocket? or it has a built of tippet threader for those pesty size 32 midges?, or maybe it's a speyswitchfly rod with a kick stand? or....maybe it has built in electrodes so when you screw up a cast or forget to set the hook the rod shocks the piss out of you?

I had a fishing rod client until they ran out of money recently. When I asked one of their executives early on about their target market, he replied with a single word: "Grrrr!"

When I pressed for clarification he said, "Thirty-something males with testosterone poisoning."

Who wants to buy a Shimano rod?

LMAO! Doesn't Fly Fisherman magazine still say "The Quiet Sport" on the cover?

Twenty-some years ago, at the height of the Bo Jackson/Nike craze, we discussed printing up tee-shirts that read, "Bo does not know fly fishing."

Sure looks like GLoomis hired the right marketing group. Look at all the website hits it is getting from this one ad without even showing the new product.

Cheers,

Maybe the incredible thing about it is that it is made in the US, is a great rod and costs less than $100. Now THAT would be a rod worth waiting until August for.....

Who wants to buy a Shimano rod? I think shimano has owned them for quite awhile now. I personaly like their rods, I have 4 of them now.
