Been thinking about getting an eight weight for a while and finally got my hands on one today. Got the White River nine foot, eight weight rod/reel combo at Bass Pro for $49.99. I still need backing and am going to put a nine weight line on it. Probably do that on Monday. It is four pice and comes in a nice case. The case alone would probably set you back $20. You guys might want to check thesew out while they still have them. Once I get it strung up next week and cast it I will give an updated report.

Btw thanks for the heads up on these flyguy!
