Default Rods, Rods, Rods...

Hi all,
I use an 8ft Greys GRX for small/medium river dry fly fishing and am thinking of changing. Initially thought of changing to the Greys GRXi but after looking around I can see a few nice rods - Sage Launch, Gordon fly rod, Orvis Streamline, Partridge. Anyone used any of these rods? What's your opinion?

I use the GRX 8 foot 6 4/5# for rivers and love it. The only reason I am thinking of changing is because it is 2 piece. Best advice is to try rods rather than take recomendations

Yes, I'd like to change to a 3 piece rod this time.
The rods I've mentioned are all in the Glasgow Angling Centre catalogue. I've
got gift vouchers to spend with them but it's just not practical to vist the store. Just wondered if anyone had used any of these other rods.

i'n looking at the grxi 7ft 6inches 4wt for my first river rod. But I was looking at the old grx as I know somewhere that still has them in stock for £50, but like the idea of a 3 piece. is the grxi prety much the same action as the grx just 3 piece?
cos it looks a great rod for £50

Greys streamflex are fab rods for the money and would compare to rods 3 times the price.
