Anyone got or casted one? LIke it, hate it, somewhere in between? I got to cast a 7136 with a 525gr skagit and 12.5 ft of t-8 yesterday. Nice rod IMO. Would like to test it with a scandi or short/mid belly. In general ithe action seemed more tip-active than my X 7130, and a bit slower... but hard to say, I've never cast a skagit on my spey rod. Great fit and finish, super sexy feel overall during a wiggle-test and casting. The 8136 version of the sonic might be my next spey rod.
