Micro fly rod fishing

Hi guys, just purchased a Micro Outfit which got confiscated by my son hehe he really liked the little outfit, he is used to fish with a winston XT 5 weight rod, but when he saw the reel of the micro he just loved it hehe here some pics od the reel, teh fihs and my son hope you enjoy them

This is a measurement of the reel

Here is the reel compared to a size 8 bugger

Here teh only fish I was allowed to catch hehe

Here Jr fighting a monster bass heheehe

Here with monster bass in hand

Holy moley. Never saw anything like that. Hope you don’t tie into anything big. Looks like it would snap in two. I bet that bass felt like a 10lber!

That looks tooooooooo kewl.

that would make a 6" bluegill feel like a monster, and make Joe’s 00 Sage feel like a 9.

I make all my freswater fishing with a 1 wt, but when I caught the small bass on the Micro, man it was a real fight hehehe and what a better way to keep kids wanting more than offering them grreat fights hehehe

That is minimalism!

I Likey :smiley:

is that the j austin forbes micro???

if it is joe montanas friend or himself (dont remember which) caught and landed a 14 pound carp :shock: on that little rod

Chris, it was his friend, thats where I got the crazy idea of getting one micro rod hehehe

hahaha

once i read his article i wanted to get one to!!!
still thinkin about it

Where would one if interested purchase a micro outfit? I do have a 2 wt outfit which is a load of fun to land fish on, but a micro would be awesome on catching my favorite fish the Blue Gill.

Hobo, you can get it here http://www.jaustinforbes.com/index.html, it takes a while but its worth the wait.

Make sure that the apostrophe doesn’t get included in the URL. If it does, backspace and delete it.

Fixed link:

It had a comma at the end.

That outfit looks like a hoot for panfish!

I LOVE IT!!! It’s hysterical but also really cool.

Carp crazy I knew you were nuts. :smiley: I dont fish smaller then my 3wt but might consider a 1wt but what you have goin on is just nuts. Loved the pics

I saw a cartoon once that showed this guy obviously casting a fly by hand.

The caption read " I kept getting smaller and smaller until I wound up with nothing at all" C2
