I\u2019m catching up here!! This is the one, the SL flagship rod where God came down and lent a hand. And we have spent the last 10 or 12 years trying to replicate it in other line weights.<\/p>\n

Really, a 6WT has been my goto line weight for most of my life. Go-to particularly in NZ. But it\u2019s also a good all-round trout weight, certainly if you are going to fish bigger flies. Quite frankly, nowadays my goto trout rod is a 4WT. The 6 is still what I would fish in NZ however. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also the Instructor version that I cast every day, and on my original HT6 I mount a SA Bonefish line to in order to chase Gourami here in the jungle. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll ever make a better rod. I\u2019ll certainly never make a finer 6WT! And I have no need to. <\/span><\/p>\n

For me I like the true to weight stuff. SA MED, Expert Trout and Bonefish are the floating lines that I use on this rod. I used to drop a line weight for competitions, before comp distance casters (myself included) started dropping 5 or more line weights!<\/span><\/p>\n

But as a pure fishing 6WT I don\u2019t think there is anything better. In fact, for me, I don\u2019t think there ever will be. And I hope to live a very long life!!! <\/span><\/p>\n

My HT6 is one of the original builds. Serial no4. I think Trev or Lee did some magic too at one point and I\u2019ve certainly replaced the tip once. <\/span><\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s builds are exceptional. I must get one for myself! I haven\u2019t seen anything like it. <\/span><\/p>\n

All rods come with a Zoom lesson and a 1 in 666 chance of becoming a pirate. Parrots are included. Email me on paul@sexyloops.com<\/a> or WhatsApp +60198549552 <\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers, Paul<\/span><\/p>\n
