I thought I had to share some of it with you. To tell the truth, I was first interested in the Method because of its ancestry. The series replaces the TCX, and Mike Surtees&#8217; TCX 790-4 had been one of the biggest crush \/ love at first loop of my fly life. Pure mass murder. So I was wondering how a Method would compare. Obviously, it would have been better to test a 790, but you know what to do when life gives you lemons.<\/p>\n<p>Another very good reason to spend time with the 7100 is how difficult it is to find good blanks in greater lengths. I know of a couple of three kopeks 6&#8217;6 sticks that will give superb rods. At 9&#8242;, you still don&#8217;t have to sell a kidney to get a high level rod, but it&#8217;s getting tight. At 10&#8242; and above, most of what the market offers feels in my hands like heavy noodles,\u00a0not necessarily the grandest of experiences. Considering Sage&#8217;s reputation, it&#8217;s worth to see what they can do.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll get back to this in a couple of episode, so that I can get into the details. NExt time we&#8217;ll begin discussing the factory build from a rodbuilder&#8217;s perspective.
