I threw the 5 wt. NFC and it was very nice. Very light and quick. Not sure when the 4 piece models or the larger weights will be coming out but know they are trying to dial things in to make it one of the best options out there. I meant to speak with Vic but only had one day and lost track of time on Saturday. I did throw some of the Batson RX8 and old RX8+ wands with Gary Lamb and loved the feel on those. Gary had a 5wt and an 8wt set up without the large strippers and I threw the line on both. Very impressed with those especially when looking at performance/price ratio. Did wiggle the new St. Croix SCV saltwater 6 blank and that felt like it would be a rocket launcher, nice fast tip. Felt like a kid in a candy store, even ended up buying a bamboo 4wt from Angler's Roost just to temper my fast action graphite DNA.
