Thread: Winston Ibis vs Scott A2 (6wt)

  1. #1

    Default Winston Ibis vs Scott A2 (6wt)

    I have pretty much narrowed down my search for a 4 piece 6 weight...opinions on either of these would be greatly appreciated.
    (I am a frequent viewer/reader of FAOL but have rarely posted...so yes I am technically a newbie...)
    cheers all

    I am not familiar with either rod. If I had "narrowed" my search down to those two I would go to a fly shop that carries both and cast them side by side.
    Every visitor to this board has different likes and dislikes in rods. Its like asking which girl is the prettiest. Only you can make that judgement.

    Those two are very similar. I think you'll find the Scott a little more crisp and the Winston a little more progressive, and in my opinion a little spongey. I fished the Ibis the other day and it did not throw heavy streamers very well. Don't get me wrong, they are both good rods and you should get the one that's best for you.
