Looking for a black Sage 3400D spool or even the whole reel if the price is right. Let me know what you have. Thank you.

I have added some better photos so you can see just how nice this rod really is.

Reel is sold. Thank you.

This is a brand new Scott STS 909/3 fly rod.(9' 9wt. 3pc.) It is a "Classic 2008" re-issue of one of the best 9wt. rods ever produced. This rod has never been fished, it still has the plastic on the...

Zugbug,
You are right, these are great reels. I think someone would be very happy with it.

This Islander LX 4.0 has seen very little use and is in near mint condition. New this reel sells for $775.00. I am asking $395.00 and that will include shipping. Reel comes in original neoprene...

I tried Mustad salmon double hooks for the first time this year. I always use a clinch harness for single salmon hooks, but noticed because of the large eye on the double hook the clinch harness has...

Thanks for the input guys. I had a feeling that the Trout lines might be a little on the light side. Has anyone tried a general purpose line like the Rio classic or the SA Ultra 4?

Just wondering if anyone with a Loomis Streamdance GLX High Line Speed 9' 5wt. can recommend a good WF floating line. I will be going after trout with flies ranging from #16 dries to #4 streamers. I...

Greg,
The rod I was interested in was actually brand new, it was just on clearance. It is a T&T XL4 905-4 for $270 regular $385. Even with exchange and shipping, this is deal not likely to be...

Greg,
You and Ray have been very helpful and generous, I thank both of you, it is much appreciated. However, the shop in question will not be getting my business even with Rays kind offer to...

I heard back from the fly shop owner. This was his message:

Paperwork and troubles with shipping across the border has been too much of a hassle in the past.

The top of the used & clearance...

Ray,
Thank you for your offer. It is awesome to have someone so far away, that I do not know, offer to help. Another member emailed me and and let me know he has been to the shop several times...

As Jamie pointed out, the form for customs takes less than 2 minutes to fill out. The only other hassel is the delay in shipping by 1 or 2 weeks to clear customs. Items are always paid for before...

overmywaders,
Yes the shop on Agricola is still there, but they only sell Sage and Hardy.
I agree it is best to buy local. The big attraction to the shop in Connecticut was the $115 off...

I live in Nova Scotia. A few years ago we had a fly shop that carried Thomas and Thomas fly rods. The first time I picked one up I new I would eventually buy one. The shop is now gone. I finely have...

Good point. I think Simms could use a little motivation to improve their products and most certainly their customer sevice.

Just looking for a review of the Sage Performance Taper fly lines in 8wt. or 9wt. when used on a fast action rod like the XP.

How does the line cast compared to a more traditional WF line?

Just wondering if anyone uses the Monic All-Weather Clear Floating fly lines for trout fishing?

I had an Islander FR2 with a cork drag. It was a beautiful reel, but the cork would freeze if it got wet in cold weather. When I pulled out line it was like a snow making machine. I sold it and got a...

Buzz,
I do not have the 2006 cabelas catalog but I checked their web site, the G.Loomis web site and did an internet search with no results. What does it say in the cabelas catalog? Thanks.

I have heard that the classic GLX are no longer made. Just wondering if anyone can confirm this. Hopefully there will be a new updated version.

Just wondering what are the largest flies you have successfully cast with a 9' 5wt. How about weighted flies?

I use the Atlas Fit work gloves. They are tight fitting and have soft rubber on the inside that gives you amazing grip. I find that twisting rather than pulling works best.
