That's good news Mike.
There's money in my Paypal account and it's just waiting for a #4 SLX

More than a drop or two from what I hear

Had a lesson with him on his ponds in Cumbria ,and yes that evening was one of the biggest whisky drinking sessions i have ever done ,Me plastered ,the Falk seemed untroubled !
Yes as too the white sinkers ,on his Spey casting course he had a dt on a seatrout rod which i cast out and was gobsmacked when it sank ,looked for all the world like an Aircel white floater ,the idea never seemed to catch on .

hi Mike

thanks for the excellent service, new SLX line arrived in saturday's post.

Had time to play with it today - great fun so far - was out in an open space of water for a change, lots of opportunities to mess about with circles and rolls and the like.

I know you rate this rod as 'slightly over AFTMA standards' - one nice benefit of that is that it helps me to cast off of the tip of the rod with less movement/effort so I could focus on other mechanics.  I used that today to experiment with tightening up loops on the forward cast. sometimes i got it just right, and the resulting loops looked pretty good (for my standards) - not quite sexyloops standards, but tightening up.   I think the bright orange helps too, i can see what i'm doing! just need to work on the three Rs  - Repetition, Repetition, Repetition...

A good fishing tool, and a good self-teach tool too, awesome!

Hi Iain
Thanks for the great feedback ..... I'm really pleased that you like the line

I'm liking it so much that I hooked myself in the back twice on monday night. lazy casting in a right to left wind... hence the need to practice more

Sean was the chap who came up a few weeks back. hopefully he will be back towards the end of the season for more photo fun and some salmon fishing.

I did notice in the third photo that Ben has a problem casting a straight line

That's probably Photoshop.....

I finally had a chuck with my SLX on Friday.  It is proper good!  My 10ft CTS 5wt loves it.  Only problem is user error!

Thanks

Just received my new Olive SLX. All I can say is the colour is spot on!! Light enough to see, dark enough not to spook the fish.

I have a couple of spots I want to try it on and I really can't wait.
