i mostly use the scientific anglers tapered leaders with the loop, very easy and fast connection when you have a loop on the fly line as well

and yes, fly fishing can be addictive, you're always searching for that magic fly, but truth be told, you don't NEED more than 2 rods in you your arsenal, 5-6 wt for trout, and an 8wt for windy days, and larger fish, such as bigger bow, pike, salmon, muskie, anything else is just a want

 

[schnip]

4wt for the tights and smalls--creeks i believe , however i do not know...lol

Any type or style of fishing "requires" multiple rods once the needle is in the vein! Every year I say I'm not buying another fishing rod. No sooner have I ordered a loomis off ebay, now I'm on the search for a baitcaster for it lol...

If my river habit becomes anything like my lake habits I'm going to need a storage locker just to store all my rods...

 

[schnip]

i have a revo--new--want it?

 

[AnglerAnonymous]

Which model? and is it the gen 3? how much? lol

 

[schnip]

[schnip]

PM me with what you think its worth to you--we will discuss...lol i also have a vendetta rod if you like

 

[Madriverfisher]

You selling all you spin stuff to buy more fly gear now

 

[schnip]
