Just in the air (shops) Pro, Competition (hot Torpedo) and Instructor Rod
I tried all three models of new brand. Some with SLX and some with GT25.
Nice combination!
I think Bernd and Mike could tell more about its.
Cheers Djordje

Hi Djordje :z16
I tried one of the new Sexyloops rods at the Scottish Gathering back in May ...... nice, very nice and it was certainly great fun with the GT125 line on it :cool:
I have one of the rods now, but I haven't been out to play with it yet, as I don't enjoy casting on ice :z3
Best wishes
Mike

Would be good to see some numbers (CCS) on the blank/rod, Bernd have you got one, and have you measured it?
Would like to know if my estimates where close :wink

When Mike eventually comes out of hibernation (the weather warms up) and brings it over for me to play with, I'll CCS it here. Won't be a perfect measurement as I don't have a good permanent rig but should be fairly close.

what's CCS ? :X2 :z7 :z4

what's CCS ? :X2 :z7 :z4
It's a set of objective measurements that tell you how accurate a rod is Marc :z7
-
so, the higher the number, the more accurate it is ? ;D
-
In your case Marc, it's the lower, the numberS.....

i don't know what you mean so i'll take it as a compliment. :X2 :z16 :z4

Would love to get out for a cast before it gets too baltic Ben, I'm just too busy at the moment :wink

Probably, it's just nice sometimes to have a objective set of numbers to compare a rod. Subjective rants are plentiful :z4

They are in Paul's new shop at http://secure.sexyloops.com/shop/index.php?_a=product&product_id=2 (http://secure.sexyloops.com/shop/index.php?_a=product&product_id=2) ...... nice to see the Barrio GT125 getting a mention in the description :cool:

Was there not a heavier rod too :?
Seem to recall there being an 8 (or something like it) at 'loops Scottish 2012 gathering.
Maybe I'm imagining things.

Hi to everyone, first post here.
So, I measured a Sexyloops Pro 6wt, the ERN is 7.9 and AA is 72.
There is an 8wt prototype you have seen but Alejandro is working on another. We should have it in a couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Ákos

Hi Ákos ..... welcome to the forum :z16
Thanks for posting the details, I still haven't been out with my rod yet, the weather here is a pain!
Best wishes

Sounds like an excuse is being built for a road trip for rod testing/product development Mr B :z17 :z13

My PB distance with a #5 and #7 has been steadily improving with the GT125 line :z16
I was out for a few casts with Ben today and finally got a chance to play with the new Sexyloops rod. Great fun, I like the Competitor rod very much and I even managed to add a few more inches to my PB #5 at 103 ft and 6 inches :cool:

Top casting today Mike, looking very tidy :z16
The rod is nice, I like it a lot although it took me a little time to tune to it as I've been casting 5wt lines on 10 rated rods recently :z4
If I was looking for a 9' #5/6 rated rod in that price bracket, I would buy one without any hesitation.
Cheers
Ben
