just so's u'all know i have a rod, 9' 4 wt 5 piece albright a5
Congrats on your new reel Wes. The more I fish the more I am convinced it's the fisherman and not the equipment that counts. Don't get me wrong, I love precision, high dollar equipment, but the dollars you spend on it are not the most important thing. Go out and have fun and enjoy yourself. Remember this about rods and reels, they are not your last rod or reel, Just your NEXT ONE.
Tell us how you do with your new outfit.

well shoot. the fly shop was closed today. have to go back tues.
Gives you a chance to add stuff to your shopping list !

yah moose that's all i need, more stuff. nice thought tho.
Flystart's a darn good reel. Bought a Flystart 2 last year as a second reel for an outfit, and found it to be better than I expected. I fish mostly for trout and black bass, and it far more than fills the bill. Pretty smooth, too, if you ask me (even if you don't).

you are lucky!!!! they were closed!!! you want a allen barstock reel at about $60 and allen fly line at about $15Quote:

Note that Joni bought a couple of reels, she is a guide in Utah and could buy Ross at half price on their guide program, but bought Allen WITHOUT A GUIDE DISCOUNT.
i used to fish pre 98 ross gunnison 1, 2, 3. so now i just ordered a Lamson Velocity Hard-Alox V1.5 close out for 135 from madison river fishing co.. much more reel than i expected to get for the price. now for the 15 buck allen line and some backing.
If it's a setup that puts you on the water and affords fish.....then it is all you need.
I bought that same reel on closeout=outstanding.Quote:
