Ok, I have decided to start my 1st fly rod built on a Rainshadow RX7 IF903 9' 2 PC 3WT for building practice, but already have that Sage on order. I just love my Salt Water Rainshadow rods, but also looking forward to casting a Sage rod. The Rainshadow is going to be all black. black reel seat, black guides, black foregrip, black thread, and the rods name is going to be the "Trout Grim Reaper", but for sure I will not kill any trout. I have the reel seat and foregrip already and it looks awesome. Going to pick up Black Guides today, single foot, with the big inner rings and YES, I am following the Batson Guide placement for this rod.. Wish me luck! Not an traditional fly rod, but I am looking forward to fly fishing with it..Here is a question, what type of fly fishing do you all recommend for this rod, flies, nyphms, streamer? Love building rods and I will post pics when I am done. Just looking to have FUN, Not a serious fly fisher yet...
