Cheers American Rodsmith vs. Waterloo?
I'm looking to get a new trout rod and I'm stuck between the American Rodsmith h3 Titanium and the Waterloo HP Slam Mag. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated?

Ive got both and i have to say my Waterloo HP lite is a better trout rod. Dont get me wrong the American Rodsmith is a great rod but the Waterloo is like a feather in your hand and is very sensitive.

just choose the rod by the way it feels in your hand, and warranty.

think about that

I prefer the HP Slam over the Slam Mag, if you want a longer rod go with the Lite

I have an older american rodsmith trout rod, it doesn't have enough guides on it but it is light and sensitive, its held up against some pretty nice size reds, but that rod was given to me, I'd prefer a falcon inshore rod before I'd go with an American rodsmith.
