yikes, i think i love you

The postman delivered a long box of joy yesterday. Which will no doubt bring bunches of no joy to friends and family as this dark blue tinglefest will require lots of practice, practice, practice.

11’ 6wt

I sold a G.Loomis 6wt that never learned to love me, for this oh-so-sweet switch rod. It won’t be fished much ‘till my next trip to Arkansas, but I’ve never been so giddy to have a rod tubed up and sitting in the corner.

Hopefully the GF can make my follies in spey look half as rad as this:

  1. nice. I’m curious to see how it fishes. I love my Beulah 7/8 switch.

      The Beulah was a contender, but I wasn’t able to wiggle either of the rods. I figured the rocket launching abilities of a buddy’s TFO Axiom would translate to their switch rod. What do you have to say about your Lamson?

  2. both rods were designed by Meiser so they can’t be that far apart.

    I love my Lamsons; I’ve got 5 Velocities and plan on acquiring more. I’ve got a look at the Konics and they’re nice, but not quite big enough for a two hander.
