Peter, I have had several Pro crests, they are slower actioned but nice functional rods. I have a bunch of FR2000's, they are light, quality glass that compare well to my Fenwicks. They are rated for two lines (6/7, 5/6 etc) in most cases I use the lighter line. I was out last night at a local bass/pike lake with a 8.5 6/7 FR2000 throwing bass bugs with a 7wt, got a bunch of fish. Me thinks, but not sure, that the Leon Chandler rods are FR2000s with better cosmetics. My only complaint about the FR2000, they use a tip over butt ferrule, that does not overlap as much as, say, a Fenwick does, and they do tend to come loose.
