Loop Blueline.

Anyone have any experience with these rods.

I am interested in the 9'5" 5# for wild trout loch fishing next year.

Any other suggestions? My criteria are:-

5 weight. 9'3 to 9'6". 4 pieces. Medium to tip action. Rod will mainly be used for dries or a couple of nymphs or wets. Don't need ultra fast or hyper distance, but will need it to be capable of putting out a fair line to finnicky fish, while in the hands of an average (at best) caster (still haven't had those lessons!)
About 80% of my fishing will be from the bank.

And I'm not on commision

I had taken a look at these rods. Was awfully tempted, but have decided to stick to my original specifications.

I want 4 pieces for ease of transport.

My casting elbow is on the injured list since I tried to start an outboard that was in gear. 4 months later any type of action that includes flexing the elbow while gripping causes pain. I am hoping that a shorter rod will have less of a leverage affect on the joint. Also, I find 9'3" to 9'6" seems to suit me a lot better when fishing the bank, as I do most of the time.

Thanks anyway.
