Marc Fauvet, FFF certified casting instructor and author of the excellent blog: The Limp Cobra, has had a go with the #5 IPT rods.
I asked myself the following question: “If you were to have just one 9′ 5wt would one of these rods be your choice?” and the answer was yes. I do prefer the fast model but that’s only because i have a preference for faster rods. Both perform flawlessly and in an ideal world I’d have both!
