Re: Damn! That was a humbling experience.

I didn't want to admit my fear of falling while on the casting deck. For me it was worse getting on and off the deck but once on it I was ok.

Re: What you recommend for a 7wt reel?

Look at "retro" and consider a used Medalist 1495. These workhorse reels go under $50 delivered on Ebay all the time. Nothing beats their unique "clackety, clack".

Re: Opinions on a few rods for Northern Pike

We have the Sage Flights and Vantages in 7, 8, 10wt. I really like these rods.

Don't misunderstand the fast, mod/fast nomenclature of today. Many makers now spend more time telling how "fast" they...

Re: Textured or not?

I've been using the SA Clouser in 8wt that is texture so this might not all apply to a fresh water trout 5wt use.

Having said that I love the way it shoots. It seems to shoot better than my other...

Re: 6wt bass taper ?

I use a 6wt Bass Bug taper on a 9' 5wt TFO Signature and love it. I can toss a bit bigger hoppers and small/mid size poppers. You won't wow your buddies with 90' casts but really push bugs with...

Carbon fiber when?

Re: Ported vrs solid reels ?

When fishing light (6wt & below) reel/line/rod then the porting does not have much effect.

However just pick up an older Penn Saltwater or Fin Nor reels for 7 thru 12 wt use then pick up just...

Re: The Shad are in :)
