A "Little Package" From Mats Trygg - Unboxing My New Rod

My good friend and fly sponsor Mats Trygg contacted me a few days ago to let me know that he had put "a little package" in the post. I was intrigued of course, expecting another pack of flies but this time I was stunned by what awaited me in the Post Office.
Thanks Mats!

Now that's a wonderful gift Chris, and what a kind thing for Mats to do, wow!!. Hope the new outfit brings you much luck-still time for a Springer on it!!. Travelled with some Swedes for a while, lovely people. Well done CHEERS, Peter.

Awesome. New rod day is always the best day.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

You got that right Chris

[@thedoggedangler]

What a kind gift, enjoy. Think that you will notice a big difference/improvement between the Oracle and the Loop rod, even just in weight and fatigue at the end of a fishing day. You're right, it is helpful to have two setups on a river in order to address different pools and conditions on the beat. Normally, I like to have one rod and line setup with a floating spey line to swing flies across a relatively slow pool and another setup with say a shooting head and sink tip in order to change quickly for those pools or runs which are fast and deep or the deep channel is on far bank where you need to get the fly down and working immediately. Nice setup and wish you tights lines.

You are quite right, the difference is night and day, good idea on the set up for each rod 👍

[@robertdoesfishing]

Amazing! That was very kind of Mats. You’ll be dying to try it out now 🙌🎣

[@ciaran6354]

I've just got the exact same one! haven't had a chance to get out with it yet. Looking forward to seeing it in motion! Tight lines.
