Yes the H2 is a pretty nice rod, but that is whatyou get when you have two super geniuses designing rods and stuff all day. Look up Shaun Combs, and you will notice that he use to work on nuc sub power plant systems (in Fly Rod and Reel article).

Puffy Daddy is designing rods now!?!? Who'd a thunk.
Really enjoyed your review of the rod. Especially the comparison to the other rods. I know a rod can feel like the best you've ever cast, but when you do a side by side comparison, things/opinions change.
For the record, I wasn't knocking the H2, Orvis, or any other rod. I just find it mildy entertaining that when a new fly rod comes out, the company's ad team seems to think we're all toddlers, looking for the next best toy to get.....they could be right!
Anyway, I do appreciate the new and better things the fly gear folks provide us. Rod development seems to be in hyper drive right now. Much more so that any other piece of fly gear.
I'll still poke fun at the rod company's ads. Come on! Laser pointer?
