Taco

I's a dutchman Mike, I've been gettin' guide spools of Fluoroflex outta the Excited States for about half the cost all in

I've dealt w/ReelFlyRod.com for Rio, they were OK. Not particularly to Rio but some decent clearance deals to be had, mrfc.com and/or tradenstuff.com and then there's good old Ebay

Cripes man, it's Gull Lake Sk, just ask for the lady with all the norweigans

Now! Now! Peter, after a crack like that I really think the asking price on your tundra pack should come down at least 20-30 bucks

Did ya hear the one about the lady in Gull Lake Saskatchewan who phones up the fish cops and complains about skunks in her basement? Says she tried everything and she can't get'em outta there. Fish cop thinks about it a minute and tells her to open a basement window and slide in a 12' 2x6 to make a ramp then throw in a couple big chunks of lutefisk and wait. The lady phone the fish cops a couple days later and tells'em that the ramp trick worked like a charm for the skunks but now her basement was plump full of damn Norwegians and she can't get rid of them.

If I say anything other than I always wanted to fish over in Scandihoovia I'd get labeled a dirty old man...

Yeahbutt... without the oilfield Kalgree might be a city that is bearable

Phillipsons I got, it's just in the heaver longer lake lengths they tend to get really tip heavy and it takes a beast of a reel to overcome that feel. ... mid fast is what this Opti is supposed to be. We'll see when we get it how dead in the butt it is.

Well the hunt is over for now.. bought a Loop Opti Stillwater 696-4 on clearance. Hope Loop's reputation ain't all smoke' n' mirrors

May have to do that, don't know if I'm terribly enamoured of any rod over 9' for a glorified float tube rod though. Thanks for the offer, may have to take you up on that.

Well Gawdamn.. I believe I have successfully derailed my own thread!! Back on track.. Does anyone know if Sages first gen LLs got up into the 6wts? Jayhad??

*hit Don we may be closer related than you wish, them Norsemen got around a bit and weren't all that picky what they climbed on. My last name is the Frisian version of Hansen

Actually Don your 2 suggestions were spot on and you can add the G series Scott as well

That exactly what happens. I do it all the time, either to slow down a rod or get a stiff rod to load with a short line http://www.scientificanglers.com/plan-your-trip/fly-fishing-tips/how-choose-right-fly-line-weight-lefty-kreh

Now now Don, while I routinely overline my RPLs I don't think I wanna lean into an overlined 4wt quite as hard as a softer 6

Yeah it's a bit subjective, just looking for easier to load, deeper flexing graphite long rod than the "fast action" rods I have tried and used for yrs. The old cowboy has a complete tear of his right side suprapinatus Thanks Mike I'll watch for those

I'm on the hunt for a used mid flex 6 wt, 9'-9 1/2'. Like a Sage SP, SLT or ZXL. I know what I want in a Sage but what about the other makers? What Winstons, Scott, Loomis or T&Ts higher end rods would fit my mid flex criteria? Thanks

Glad to be of service... gotta keep them more northerly OFers happy

*hit I've never seen the wind blow a tailgate shut but I have seen it work it's magic on and with truck doors. And Don wins and not because of the torture test but because he's figured out the juju to embed youtube links...

And you guys wonder why I fish glass. http://vimeo.com/79529221 Think your boo will do this without takin' a bad set Don?

Jeez..180 days almost sounds like desperation on their part And cheap may not be the word.. more like demandin' value for money spent

LMFAO... the cheapassed dutchman vs the smartassed scandihoovian I give up, I'll have a look but I was lookin' to get away from the frame
