Tom is not to far off. Between knowing a whole of folks from the various
shows and being in Florida and doing various favors from guiding
to making arrangements, I have been on several manufacturers programs.
Went through my annual thinning out process and have several beauties
that have been replaced by newer models.
Soooooo............. First up are two Nautikos rods a 7 wt and an 8wt .
These rods are built for coastal fishing. Not as light as a GLX, but
more powerful. Handles the wind better.
The 7 wt is a perfect all around rod !!! Handles Bass Bugs great and
will handle bones and reds if it is not gale force wind.
The 8wt is an ideal salt water rod. Can handle everything, Reds, snook,
stripers, etc. (see descriptions below)
They retail new for $450. If interested, contact me OFFLIST at this e-mail

>From the Loomis catalogue:
Whether you're fighting wind out on the flats, attempting casts into the
next province, or fighting monstrously agile fish, the Nautikos series
delivers with authority and durability. We designed each rod to the
specifications of seasoned East Coast anglers, with a fast action and
stiffer, more powerful feel. Whether you're after stripers, tarpon, redfish,
bluefish, or even tuna, there's a Nautikos specifically designed for the
occasion.
FR1087-3 Length: 9' Line: 7 Pieces: 3
A different kind of 7-weight than we've ever made before. It has a very fast
taper with a strong, powerful butt that gives you good casting range and
extremely positive fish-fighting control. A good choice for bonefish,
schoolie stripers, redfish or seatrout, especially when it's not too windy.
This is a delightful, fast-action, light-duty saltwater rod that will add a
new dimension to your saltwater fly fishing arsenal. If you're after a
lighter, more challenging approach to saltwater fly fishing, this 7-weight
will surprise you.
FR1088-3 Length: 9' Line: 8 Pieces: 3
This is a great saltwater flats rod for snook, redfish, bonefish, permit and
baby tarpon in the up-to-thirty-pound range. Its extremely fast saltwater
taper gives you tight, efficient loops that increase casting distance and
accuracy. When the wind isn't blowing, the 1088 lays out a long, quiet line
so you won't spook the fish in shallow, clear water. When it is blowing, it'
ll punch a line out accurately and precisely despite all the howling. We
think the Nautikos 8-weight gives you the best of both worlds.
