really frustrated

Went fishing today. Went to a lake that is a no brainer for catching fish. Cast anything from a float tube work it back and bam fish on. these are fish from 6"-12". I took my trusty 3 weight which I have not caught anything on. First trip with 3 weight I kept breaking leaders lost fly's not happy. today I decide to put a new leader on and I used a castwell knot to attach it to the fly line. I love the castwell know it never fails. I get a nice hit and then it was gone. Brought my line up for another cast and no leader no fly.

I am putting the 3 weight up and never using it again. Everytime I take it out it is something or another going wrong. I have yet to catch a fish with it. I feel the rod is jinxed. Thanks for listening

what length is the three weight, who makes it.
i might be interested in it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

that really sux though.
are you talking trout in this place?
and supermans knot failed :shock: :)
you had a bad day.
there will be better to come

What brand of fly line do you have on your reel? I've found that I have to be more careful setting the leader knot with certain brands of fly line that are more stiff and slippery. Maybe try a drop of UV cement on your knot next time. I frequently use braided loop ends, and I always secure these with a drop of UV cement too. DANBOB

I would be happy to give that rod the proper ceremony to rid it of its jinx.

Just send it on over, I'll even pay the shipping. 8)

My wife bought me the rod so I will keep it. Danbob I was using cabela's fly line. I can not believe the castwell know gave way I have never had problems with it in the past heck I have caught 26" browns on my fly rod with the castwell and it never gave.
