Fly Rods & Reels

[bookworm]

For trout, I use two L.L. Bean four-piece travel rods, a five weight and a seven weight; both are 5-10 years old. I throw an Orvis weight-forward floater with the five weight for nymphs and dries and a sink tip with the seven for streamers. For bass and light salt water I use a Sage largemouth rod that came with a matching Sage reel. I spend more money on travel and guides than equipment. Also, I'm not a good-enough caster to do justice to top of the line stuff.

I'm a TFO guy. I've been super impressed with the rods not to mention the guarantee. TFO will have a booth at the Kentuckiana Fly Show so you can try any of their rods.

I like the 25 year guarantee on the higher end Orvis rods ! I am not very happy with their warranty on the 7 piece travel rod. Found that out after the Daughter broke the tip off. But I glued it back and it seems to do good. And maybe even better. Because it made it a little stiffer. I Love to shoot the Line!!!
