Supposedly Orvis has one in the works, too. It's certainly intriguing... and I'm digging the resurgence of cork and rings even more then new glass.

Cool!

The original owners of Redington never stopped making fiberglass! - http://www.southforkrodcompany.com/

Other than independent builders, it doesn't seem like anyone's got the balls to make a glass 7wt though.

Have you ever checked out any of those old Fenwick's or Scientific Anglers?

I have.  I would like to find an SA System 7.  The Fenwick 806 and 807 have gotten popular enough that they aren't really good deals anymore.

I have fished Steffens and McFarlands in bass- and salt-weights and they are fantastic.

Reviews are coming in and the 8' 3 piece 5wt is the best of the series followed by the 7'6" 4wt(but it needs to be lined with a 5wt to load properly).
The rest of the series in shorter lenghts and line weights seem to suck.
Everyone believes these will be on sale at bargin prices in a year or so..... keep your eye on STP.
