Love your fly rod reviews, are you planning on doing a review on the new scott session.

Amazing! I think that a "Soul factor" should be added to the reviews... this one definitely is 11 out of 10 on that categorie

I just heard Helios 4! When is embargo day?

lol you love the MPX line. every single review

The cork grip on version 1 was a cigar grip, really awful, no ergonomics, front 2” of cork un-usable unless you hold it pointer-style. Copying the Sage snubnose isn’t good, that grip isn’t much better (Sage snubnose is 6 1/2” and too short for a 9 ft rod, should be 7”). The grip to copy is the current one on the Orvis, which was specifically designed to compete with Sage snubnose. The Orvis grip has full 7” of cork, with significant bump in the middle to better support the palm. The rest of the Avantt 1 was very good. I wish these manufacturers (and rod reviewers) would spend more effort on cork grip ergonomics, it’s not discussed enough. But thanks Ben for the review, I still think many of these new versions happen too often and/or miss most improvements that should be made.

Yea when is the H4 dropping?

None of the new rods can beat my old g loomis nrx green 😁

Owned two T and T rods . Won’t buy another

Ben is my least favorite rod reviewer in the business.

A game changer, the first one was a game changer but now the game has changed and your out of the game unless you change 🧐

$1000.00 piece of sheet 💩 👌😉
