I’m sure this rod is going to be a talking point 🙂 Heading over to San Francisco to a Sexylooper at the Golden Gate Casting Club. Gavan has quite a few HTs now and I’m sure this one is going to get a workout!!

An HT7 with Torzite Titaniums throughout! The 7WT is a powerhouse of a rod with HT feel. Originally it was designed for the MCI test – why cast 85’ when you can cast 145? 🙂

This is the rod I pick up nowadays when I want “to play”. Rooftop night-time jungle casting is HT7 territory.

This for me I think is the perfect trout streamer rod. Firing streamers into the bank edges and making long mends around currents. Great fun!!

You can find out more about this fly rod here, or drop me an email on paul@sexyloops.com – You are never far away from fish with a Hot Torpedo 🙂

There was a time when the HT range was 9’ #4, 6, 8 and 10. That would be a “compete set” and cover you for most bases certainly. Iain now joins that club 🙂

And the recurring theme? The next HT will explain all! 😀

The HT8 (a “cannon with finesse” – as we lovingly call it), is off to Aussie-land to join Gavin’s HT6 and 763.

This one is fitted out with Torzites, which is how I would set mine up nowadays (and will do so if I get struck by lightning or tangle with an elephant while casting – no car door breakages for me!).

Here are some further thoughts on different ringing options https://www.sexyloops.com/index.php/page/show/hot-torpedo-customisation-choices

It’s always interesting how Gavin in Australia is always buying rods at the same time as Gavan in the US. Fortunately with our superior organising skills this has never been a problem. 🙂

You can find out more about the HT8 here: https://www.sexyloops.com/index.php/webshop/item/537/ht-pro-9ft-8wt The Torzites option add $100 to the price.

As always feel free to email me on paul@sexyloops.com for more info.

Cheers, Paul

Here’s a great looking customised HT6 with Full Wells grip, removable fighting butt and maroon and metallic orange whippings.

Also comes supplied with a Sexyloops Camouflage Baggy!

What’s your dream build? Email me on paul@sexyloops.com to discuss 🙂
