New 8 weight

[bplgocards]

I bought that exact same rod. I have never fly fished before but wanted to learn, and the guy at BPS recommended it to me. I put 8# WF line on it. I took it out to fisherman's park in Louisville for some practice. With my limited knowledge as a beginner fly fisherman, the rod handled well. They just stocked the lakes with trout- they were jumping everywhere. Unfortunately, I didn't catch anything.

For the price you can't go wrong with this rod. The 8 weight might be a little stiff for the smaller fish, but will work good for throwing big flies. You might want to check out a 5 ot 6 weight later on bpl. They are better suited for stream fishing and you can still use them for bass and panfish on ponds and lakes. BPS has a good Hobbs Creek Combo ready to fish with line, backing and everything for a good price.

Welcome to the club.

Thanks,

I went with the 8 mainly because I plan to use it to fish for bass at rough river. At this point though, I'm anxious to catch any fish

I'm curious myself, but Jack, who works speak a couple of them a few weeks ago, he said that this is a good rod of money. He is also a proposal to nine lines to get it on the weight of the load better.
