I am wanting to start to look for a float n fly rod. I have looked at the All Pro rods but $150 is a little much for a rod I will use one week out of the year. I want to try and keep it under $80. What are some of the rods that you have used and what do I need to look for in a good one.
The only things I can think of are weight and ease of casting. Which I will not be able to find out the latter until after a purchase, so I would like to here some opinions.
Willi we have opened up a Float-n-Fly Forum over on the creek bank with a lot of that info on it if you care to check it out.

Less espensive float n Fly rods are available through Punisher Lures. I purchased a Lexus 10' rod for about $60.00. Call (931) 243-6133 or website [url]www.punisherlures.com[/url].
You can buy the lexus off e-bay for less than 30 bucks if you look I bought 2 shipping included for 30-35 2 years ago 10' 6-10lb test 1/16-3/8 noodle rods on your search type noodle rod..
another good rod (in my opinion) is the Browning Six river steelhead rod, I bought one from BPS on sale for 39.99, it's 2 piece 9'6 with a light action. Can wait to use it.
What stratosjoe said! I've bought all mine off ebay. There's usually a guy on there selling them from "catfish supply house" or something like that. They're good to buy from. I've bought 2 or 3 and never had a problem.

We use Wally Marshall 10' Crappie Rods and have not had any problems.
Never tried the fnf before but am very interested in it. What kind of action do you want the rod to have. I would assume a decent backbone but very light tip? let me know if I'm on the right track.
thanks guys
