I was recently in the market for a float rod and wasn't to sure on which one to get. The GL3 is a great rod as is the Dave Vedder model from Lamiglas. But I would strongly suggest looking at ALL-STAR rods, they are very very sensitive and come with a life time guarantee. if you are looking for a 10'6" rated 8-12 go with the
ALL-STAR 1284C.
just my .02

P.S. thanks Mark and RT for all those jigs...I cant wait to use them. Q? why is the hackle or feathers so short?
