That's pretty funny. I put a fighting butt on my 5 wt RPL just for grins--it's funny how it bothers some people. A fighting butt on a 2 wt would
probably really cause a stir.

Jerry,
I'd like to see you with that 2wt. Can you imagine laying into one of those BG; cocking that rod sideways; leaning into the rod with the fighting but firmly planted in your belt. You would look like Lefty fighting a snook. Seriously, I can't wait to see the reviews. Les |

I'm anxious to read the reviews as well. My only regret is that I have a superb 2 wt already as you saw when you tried out my LL 2 wt. There are several in that review that I *know* I want even before I read it--the Elkhorn, the St Croix Avid, and maybe that Echo. But I doubt they would get fished. The same reason I sold my Elkhorn 2 wt to Huw--it's a fantastic rod but I like the LL better. Of course my LL doesn't have a fighing butt....

Well, that certainly got my attention. I can't wait to read the "rest of the story". When will we be able to read the article? John

Does the fighting butt come with a matching line tamer guide? These are also very useful for blue water applications. Don

I can't take any credit for the review. All I did was come up with the list of rods, cast them, did some writing and paper work. Jim and Joe did all the
foot work on this.

Well the Great 2-Weight Shoot-Out will be promoted to "live" status on www.flyfishohio.com over the July 4th weekend. How's that? In the interim
I've just published a review of the Bass Pro White River Classic UL Reel. Give it a look.
