Hello all
I stumbled across a youtube video of a guy using a 10 foot 3 weight rod (the video doesn´t mention wich rod) with an OPST commando head for coastal fishing the other day. My FTAS kicked in immediatly and I started searching the net for rods to use for this kind of fishing.... They are scarse (if you exclude the rods for Czeck nymphing), the best option yet is a Redington Hydrogen 10`3 weight. Do you have any suggestions ?
Background
I live in Denmark ( It´s a small country in Scandinavia made up of a peninsula (Jylland) and 443 islands + the Faroe Islands and Greenland)). So a lot of coast available for fishing. 70% of my fishing is coastal fishing for seatrout the rest is spent on the rivers in Jutland, mainly Skjern, Karup and Vejle Å (Å means river). The seatrouts fished from the coast are mainly from 1 to 4 kilo but you can run into a 10 kilo fish if your lucky (why don´t you guys just accept the metric system like the rest of the world - would make things so much easier
In the rivers there´s salmon of plus 20 kilo and seatrout of plus 10 kilo. When I started fly fishing back in the 90´ties the holy gospel was 9´#8 rods. These days the most popular rods are 5 and 6 weights for coastal fishing and 2 hand 8 weights for river fishing.
