Sage, Scott, G.Loomis and TFO all have new shorter fly rods for bass tournaments. They have to be under 8 feet long to be legal. These will be used in tight mangrove salt water fisheries as well.

TFO 'TiCrX' 7'6" #6 - 4 pc @ $249

TFO 'TiCrX' 7'6" #8 - 4 pc @ $249

Scott 'Backcountry Special' 7'7" #9 - 3 pc @ $625

G.Loomis "Cross Current' 8' #9 - 3 pc @ $350

I don't think Sage has released theirs as of yet.
