toolman Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Guideline Le Cie series....I've heard many good comments. Has anyone had a chance to cast one? I'm hoping someone local has one, that they might consider bringing to the next Spey gathering. http://guidelineflyfish.com/english-edition/index.html http://www.irishangler.com/ Quote
maxwell Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 funny on that irishangler link they have TFO and TFO has swich rods in 11' 5-9 wts wonder why the norther americanmarket cannot get these sticks Quote
luukesh Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Fish Tales got the TFO Switches......was gonna grab one and then someone mentioned the opti switch... Quote
Whistler Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 have been working on the opti switches for close to 6 months now. The finished rods (#6 and #8)should be available to the public in a month or two. In the meantime I have a variety of prototypes kicking around if anyone is out this way and would like a quick cast or look. These rods are very light and sensibly sized making for a two handed caster that really can be cast single hand all day when need be. Quote
luukesh Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Can't wait for the opti switch.....what line does it use? Opti stream? Quote
Whistler Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I have been fishing the opti stream and opti still water on the #6 but have tried a variety of lines most of which have worked great. Lately I have been fishing the #8 a lot more. I have been lining it with a Rio afs 7/8 airflo compact skagit 450(480 works great as well as the new Loop Whistler line and opti stillwater #9. These rods are also pretty cool looking as they feature Loops new switch style concept handle design and new power weave blank design. Quote
