Good luck... that rod is phenomenal. I think I have a 4wt Vector in the basement.

The LPS and the Paradigm were 2 of my favorite rods.

OK, I took the plunge and gave up finding one on Ebay and bought new at a slight discount of $100 bucks. I do have a question, I own an LPS 9' 5 wt 3 piece that I love, I just purchased the LPS 9' 4 wt 4piece but was surprised the action is much slower than I thought it would be. To me it feels more like what I would have expected a 3 wt to feel like. I was wondering if it is still comparable to the old 3 piece 9' 4 wt or did they completely change the rod beyond just the number of sections.

FYI for any T&T fanatics,
I called T&T, that rod is now a different animal, slower , smaller diameter and softer than the older 3 piece version, the new 4 piece is not the same, very nice, just not the same. I would assume the entire series of LPS 4 piece are different than the older 3 piece version. They also changed from the nice blue color to a gray.

I am still looking for the 3 piece T&T LPS 9' 4wt, I bought the new version a 4 piece but it does not match well with its siblings, I have an LPS 3 wt and 5 wt and wanted the old 4 wt to complete the set. If someone has the older 3 piece I would be willing to do a swap or make some monetary arrangement to make you happy, depending on the condition, obviously I would not swap a beat up rod for a new one.
