Each year I go with a bunch a friends to a BC lake to do some fishin,We have a little derby with some prizes.I've been asked to purchase a rod, reel, line, flies.... for a prize. Keeping it around $1200.
.Most of the fellas are not full time fisherman and mostly troll around the lake.So I plan on putting a type 6 sink line on the reel.Some deep sea chrionomid fishin can also work.
Islander LX 3.2 or 3.4 comes to mind for a reel.For a rod something a little softer then a Sage Z. There just a little stiff for what we do .I plan on a 9' 5wt.
What would you buy?
Thanks,
