Now that St Croix has come out with their Legend Elite, you can get some great deals on the Legend Ultras. -Ken- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eddie D" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 8:01 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] 9wt. vs. 8wt./Santa rules ! > Question about 8 wt's.
