Title: Midrange fly rods

The VPS is tested and experienced; tough, durable, and casts well.  The owner of a competing top rated fly fishing rod company once told me the VPS was the best rod Sage made (this was in the RPL+, SP, SP+ days, pre-XP).   Winston's are beautiful, but I'm not a Winston kind of guy; however, I cast that Ibis, and it is a rocket.   Haven't cast the T&T.   Kent, of all the people on this list, why are you looking at paying $300+ for one rod?  What happened to you and the Heritage rods, anyway?  Can't you almost buy 4 of the Heritage sticks for the price of one of those on your list?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kent Lufkin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 8:07 AM Subject: Midrange fly rods If you've had a chance to fish or compare any of these these rods, I'd sure appreciate your thoughts and impressions: Winston Ibis ($295) Thomas & Thomas XL2 (~$375) Sage VPS (~$385) Thanks, Kent Lufkin
