Re: A couple of Redingtons
Interesting. I have since this write up purchased a couple other Redingtons.
I went with one of their CPS upgrades, the CPX in a nine foot four weight. Very fast, like the CPS but with a softer...

Re: sunglass lenses
I like to use a tan lens. I recently bought some close out titanium series Rapala glasses that I am very impressed with. I bought some dark lens ones as well but don't really like dark lenses on the...

Re: Fly Fishing in a Kilt?
In all actuality, I cannot think of anything more ridiculous then this idea.
I am really trying to see the upside but there is not one.
Some bad ideas come along from time to time, but this...

Re: Cheap DIY Floatant - AMAZING!
If your line is starting to sink, it is due to wicking. Inside of your flyline is a center core, usually made of a material that will absorb water. When you spliced it onto your leader, you would...

Re: price difference
There is no reason you cannot buy the lower priced set up and be perfectly pleased with it. I see no point in spending five hundred dollars on a rod. I fish with an Albright GP rod and it is my...

Re: Redington CD Reel opinions?
Is this one of the old ones?
They were junk! I had one and the drag would slip and stick. The thing was machined very sloppy and after a while it seemed to be falling apart. The bad thing is...

Re: Reels
I would personally recommend the Okuma. Great company with great gear.
As far as the DT WF thing, the reel would take more backing to fill the same size weight forward line as a DT line is the...

Re: short rods vs. long rods
Most people in my neck of the woods go with a nine foot five weight.
My favorite rod though is an eight foot five weight. It is more accurate then the nine footer, imo. I get just as much...

Re: TFO Professional 9ft 5wt 4pc
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,...

Re: good beginner rod??
Can I just make a blanket post here????
We get about five posts a day that ask if a rod, reel, line, or package is good for a beginner.

Re: Question about rod quality
Funny thing is that many are going right back to the cane and glass of yesterday. It is fine material and the rods are great to fish with.
I love catching a fish with a $30 rod while everyone...

Re: TFO Professional 9ft 5wt 4pc
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...

Re: Why Shouldn't I Keep this Rod????
They are fantastic rods and that is a screaming deal.
That rod is made by SAGE overseas and is a wonderful caster and carries a great warranty.
I say keep it and enjoy!
