Entered them into competitions \u2014 I took mine to the World Championships, which arguably I might have won if it wasn\u2019t for Stefan\u2019s hand again; by putting super slick lubricant over Sakari and my flylines, making them so slick that we couldn\u2019t haul them! But that\u2019s another story!<\/p>\n<p>9\u2019 #6 really was a rod I knew well. It was my goto fishing rod class for 20 summers\u2019 fishing in New Zealand. So I knew what I wanted. If I was a marketing guru then at this point I would say I got better than I wanted! Which we did of course \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So thanks, Stefan!!<\/p>\n<p>Usually we fit these as standard with a half wells cigar-shaped grip. But about 1 in 10 customers request full wells. Particularly for Imaginary Saltwater fly fishing. The fighting butt is handy for keeping sand out the reel. For me it doesn\u2019t make a difference to performance but I know that for others it does matter.<\/p>\n<p>Andy is very busy. I am too actually, which is why I\u2019m quite a few rods behind here \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Email me on <a href=\"mailto:paul@sexyloops.com\">paul@sexyloops.com<\/a> or Whatapp +60198549552 to discuss your next exciting Sexyloops rod. Remember every rod comes with a Zoom casting meeting and a 1 in 666 chance of going on a pirate fly fishing adventure holiday. Cutlasses will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful craftsmanship from Andy the Redneck.
