The 907-4 Radian is quite a soft rod and in my opinion, not a great streamer rod if full sink lines and larger flies are going to be used. It simply has too weak of a tip to be a great streamer stick in my opinion. I would personally choose a 7wt Meridian or an 8wt Radian if it was me.Sep 18, 2018. #3. I just picked up a 'glass rod I intend to use in the salt: A Fenwick Feralite FF85 (8.5' 7-8-9wt). Compared to the other Fenwick Feralites I use (FF75 and FF806), there is no doubt in my mind it's up to the task. Its action and ability to throw tight loops into the wind are similar to what you'd expect from graphite rods.Location. Sisters, OR. Apr 5, 2023. #17. Ok - I'm back and have a report. The rollers come in a 10 pack - they are far smaller than I anticipated - as small as a small tippet ring. They are plastic so if you use forceps to work with, you have to be careful not to squish them. So they are $2.5/piece.

Looking for a little bit of an extended handle as my short handled net is an issue when landing fish and I will be getting into the euro nymphing soon so imagine it would only be worse with the longer rod.

Jun 25, 2013. #5. I've used a 6 wt a lot for bass, and have even tossed some very large flies, that would have been easier to cast with an 8 wt. The main difference is distance. The lighter rod will be much more limited for distance the bigger the flies are. However, if you simply scale the flies down a bit, that you have used with the …

The fly would overwhelm the weight of the line, to a degree where accuracy would suffer. The flies would pendulum against that too-light fly line. A 6 wt line is better suited to making the weight and air resistance of these flies disappear. Our industry has lost it's way with regard to line weight and fly size.On my 4th or 5th cast, I got a strike and it was fish on. An 8" Rainbow, which for this stream is a near-trophy (the typical fish there is 5-6" and more likely to be smaller than larger). So a great way to break in the new rod! I am so impressed with the rod. Just exceptional for the small, tight waters I fish so often.

But in trout fishing, as rods get lighter, there is a major need for skeletonized, light weight reels with adequate performances for proper match up and Nautilus and Galvan are two important contenders here.

OK, lets be clear; reels like the no-name, presumably Chinese reels on e-bay are not made by "Clark" or even for Clark.

Indices Commodities Currencies StocksIndices Commodities Currencies StocksMinimal price difference between Ross and Abel. I beg to differ regarding the price difference. Abel SDF 5/6 $845. Ross Evo LTX $475. Include an extra spool and: Abel w/ Spool $1,479. Ross w/Spool $831. That's a big difference. Also, Ross reels are absolutely fantastic quality.As for line, I’m a fan of the WF (weight forward) Lines, floating for a 2w. With so many lines on the market, they can really vary in price. With the design and typical use of a short 2w like the Little River, I wouldn’t suggest a ton of backing since this isn’t really a distance rod, but more of a finesse.

They'll go wild for flies that imitate their natural forage, such as crayfish, leeches, baitfish, and gobies. I'll use the pre-spawn Smallmouths here as examples. I use an 8wt fly rod because when the Smallies are in pre-spawn, there are still very aggressive post-spawn Northern Pike around. I also use an 8wt because of the flies I throw at them.

This rapid recovery creates such great natural line speed that it can cast line like a more fast action rod, but with a more medium/fast flex profile that offers a nice touch of “feel.”. Whenever I can’t entice fish to rise for dries, or I can’t see fish rise I pack my dry rod, and use euronymphing or streamer setup. As soon as I see fish raise, I pack euro rod.

When a fly is stripped, the fly creates a pulse or sound wave as the fly pushing the water aside and forward.
