The 2106 blank makes a fine light steelhead rod.

awesome news but where the heck are 286 and 296? The 290 is a great standard rod but the 286 is more fun and the 296 is more balls

That list are completed rods. If blanks are available, 2106LB would also make a excellent light CP rod. Conspicuously missing however is the 3113LB. Two things about this announcement to consider before any one drawing quick conclusions however: 1. These are canadian centric wraps. 2. Nothing has been delivered. I wouldn't rule out the CT286 or 296 yet, but they just aren't going to generate the same buzz up yonder. And let's face it, Sage sure can't look to PNW for support needed to bring back these great rods. Picked up a CT 286 from Ted's not long ago at a great price. Who knows how long those will last though.
