Hi McFly,

Looks like a good outfit. I will be interested in how you compare it to your 6wt Martin setup.

The Professional rods are very nice sticks. They cast well and have a great warranty. They did not scrimp on putting them together. Not the best lookers but then again, I don't think those things matter. The action is what matters and these have it down. You will like this rod.

I just got an 8" 2wt Professional. For such a light weight rod I'm amazed at how well I can toss the bigger wooly buggers and semi-seals. Obviously, I can't get the distance that I can get with my 4wt but it loads and casts really well.

Really looking forward to using it on small streams, it's intended purpose.

Very Nice...

Do you mind saying where you got that outfit?

[GeorgeMcFly]

flyshopcloseouts.com is where I got it at.

My only rod is a TFO 9ft. 5 wt. 4 pc. professional and I love it. I can cast easily with it and have pulled in some 2lb fish with it. Not bad, I think I need an 8wt. now so I can cast some of my larger flies

I must say I heartily disagree with that statement.

When someone first starts flyfishing I would say that having a bunch of rods is a bad thing. They need to master the mechanics of the cast, the mend, the feel, etc etc. Trying to learn on a bunch of different feeling rods will not lend itself to consistency or a good learning curve.

Use one main rod, maybe two and get it all down before you start buying a full quiver.

curtis is right. don't go wild. what I meant to say is if ya need one for different applications it might be a good idea to invest in a different rod size. then after awhile after mastering that you can upgrade and know what works best in different situations. I guess I did the opposite. its been a crappy winter here and I haven't gotten out for while to fish! I am itching and I been buying stuff up like crazy for fishing! I have a 3wt and a 5wt I never tried yet cause the weather and I am also working on the parts for the 7wt!! basically if ya do need a upgrade and you can afford it i'd say go for it. I know around here the 5/6wt 1st got wouldn't work for the big steelies around here so I had to get a 8wt for them.
