Dollar for dollar the seagull s6 gets my vote for an entry level guitar that will grow with you. Solid top and a great sound, almost made me sick to think what I paid for my old Guild when I played...

I am considering buying the 8.5' #5 version. I've had the 9' #6 for a nearly a year now and it is a great rod.

I will second the Subaru Outback, I wouldn't change a thing about the car after 200,000 miles. Fits everything, AWD, ground clearance and gas mileage, also have found good use for the weatherband...

I don't know how big but your bite looks equally painful. Big browns definitely are meat eaters.

HMMM, this story sounds familiar.... About a month ago....

Same thing happened to me.

Since there hasn't been much study on this how bout this for a theory... Using a heavy rod and ripping a fish in might damage the mouth or be more likely to rip the jaw or cause bleeding. A lighter...

I was reading through this post and one name came to mind, Mark Steffen. Contact him, his 8.5' 5/6 is a great rod. In fact I am ordering one as soon as the finances are available. It is exactly...

I agree, glass rods are superior for roll casting in my experience. My current favorite roll caster is an old Cortland Pro Crest glass rod, 8' for 6 line, I use a 5 on it though. It is a roll...

I live real close to Coopersville and routinely work up there. I have never heard of this builder. Can you PM me any other info on him?

Thanks

Don't forget Dave Redington, TFO, Mario Wojnicki, Japanese Fenwicks...

I have the v3 and recommend it for a 7 weight, its what I use and I think you would have a enough room for backing with an 8 weight for bass fishing. Bass don't really take you into your backing...

Is the biggest fly you can get your hands on and fish it at night. A mouse pattern is a great option, that river has fish you wouldn't believe but you need put time in at night. That is my choice,...

I would go with a DT 4 line. Those white river classics are a little stiff imho.

I would stick with the Abel TR or if you want to save some bucks pick up a Ross colorado on ebay. I have the ross and it is an excellent trout reel and meets all your criteria. Good luck!

I have been fishing a A5 6 weight for a few weeks now. Let me know how they respond to your broken tip. I am curious about what they are willing to do for you and what it ends up costing you. ...

I love my 9.5' #7 Scott G. It is perfect for bass, steelhead, and light saltwater. I also use it for throwing larger streamers on sinking lines for trout and for night fishing with mouse patterns...

Go heavier, I never understood the thinner line argument, in experience no matter how much I double haul in a strong wind a 3 weight gets blown around. I say 6-7 weight and shorter lengths like...

I like the rods you mention, I would look for a used Scott G original on Ebay. You can pick one up for about $200-$225 if you wait for the right time. A really great rod in my opinion.

Lo,

Thats how we say it in MI.

Rainbow Chaser,

Your from Nunica! I am up that way all the time, I work for Ottawa County environmental health.

Dogtown.

Now that some of you fish in people are back in town... Did you get into the hex hatch at all on the Ausable? I would be interested in a report if you have time.

Whoever was casting that rod in that test must have been a newbie.

Thanks all. When is the fish in officially over? I will be interested to hear some more reports of hex from up that way.

I cannot justify the cost of that rod. It is a nice rod, but so are all of the rods I currently own. Glad to hear you like it though, they are light for sure if that is important to you. I like my...
