Flextec Rods anyone have any experience with them?
 Dear FTF Member,Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations.

Yeah the price is more then I would be willing to pay for I rod I never heard of before, but I got lucky and bought one off e-bay for $63.85 to my door from England.
Its a CRX 88 8/9wt. 11' w/ 6'' fighting butt.
It is supposed to be here to today. In a few months I'll get a chance to sling a few flies, so I'll report back when I get a chance to use it.

I have one of their Wilderness Series 8'6" 7 piece 5/6 wt. I like it - same as the previous post I got it off ebay for a good price. I got it mainly because it would fit in my tourpack on the motorcycle. Once I got it - it is one of my favorites.

Well I got a chance to cast my flex tec rod and man can that thing chuck flies overhand,.
It needs heavier line to spey cast though (I am thinking 325-375 gr. Short Skagit)
It seems decent for the price and it makes a great belly boat rod due to its length.
I will post a review on it as well as the Loop pike booster I got after I get a chance to catch some Pike and Walleye on them
GMac209 glad you like your rod.
Man 7 pieces! Wow that must be a small rod tube? 14'' long?
