Thats because your GLX got stolen in Holland....

The original Redington DFR that Mel Kreiger apparently designed or assisted. The XP, RPL. Scott STS. Personally I think these were some of the best rods ever made.
Only tried your 8 weight DFR with the 6 weight windcutter on, nice combo :D

XP, still have a 590, lovede how the 790 was very much a TCR590 in different colours ;) RPL, nice, second best 490 I ever had. STS was terribly tip heavy, with a bounce, never got why it was liked..

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)

Doesn’t sound anything like the STS.
And yep some barstool stole one of my GLXs in Holland from my room. I was very surprised about that. I imagine it was one of the presenters since there was four of us sharing the room.

It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.
