Fishslayer74 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 After a previous trip and a couple of 5wts breaking I'm glad I had a backup. Especially with a turn around period of about 7 weeks to get my rod there and back. And the last thing I also want is to be out for a day somewhere or a weekend trip and my only rod breaks and I'm done. Well, now I'm thinking of doing the same for my 9wt rod. I have a complete setup a 9' 4 piece TFO BVK with two reels. One with floating line and one with 24" sink tip. So I don't want to go with a different weight of rod for the back up. I'm thinking of almost a switch rod possibly but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. Some input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

fishpro Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Check out the Redington Predator, nice fast action rod with a lifetiem warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 what sort of budget are you looking to spend? one man's "fortune" might be anothers entry level rod. I'd go with a St. Croix Legend Ultra, really good rods esp in the heavier sticks as they are pretty lightweight and won't wear ya out as fast.
