What Would You Buy?

[Tungsten]

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,

Whats a full time fisherman Tungsten? Sounds like you got the reel figured out pretty well. If you are buying it for a prize why is it important for the rod to be a bit softer than a Z? I would just buy the Sage "one" and the winner should be very happy!. For line for your derby you already have decided on the type so I would just grab a Rio and a SA line and flip a quarter. Sounds like a great derby for you and your pals, have fun.

LX 3.4, sage one or hardy Zenith. if you guys go bc lake every year, why not choose a 10' rod for the prize.

Thanks guys,i'll be shopping soon.Most of the fellas couldn't be bothered with casting 30' leaders and watching bobbers.So a 9' fits best.Drinking and trolling is what there good at.

Does sound like fun- Post a picture of the winner, his fish and prize!

Sounds like it might go to the guy who drinks the most, and had a bite.

How about a Sage VPX596 with a islander IR2 reel.

Sage Circa 589 and a Nautilus FWX 5/6......

Top it up to $1500.00 and the winner gets a TUC Lifetime Membership ( Comes with a rod or rod/reel combo )

How about a nice 5wt just in case the winner wants to go steelheading?

thats just to funny , why don't you ask them spey pages guys if they would use a 5 wt or even a 6 wt single hand rod for true steelhead , BC steelhead

 

oh hell with it , even better just tell em how good you are that you could get away with it like your posts here stated ,

[Guest Grinr]

What are you clowns looking to get another thread locked down?

I already explained in the last soap opera that I have no intention of using a 5wt for BC steel,but I have landed several 5,6,7 lb grilse and a few 10-12 lb salmon on same.

And that entire topic was about a SIX WT.

Spend a bit of time on SpeyPages and I think you'll find there's quite a few fellas fishing PNW steel with 6wts.....or better yet,STFU until you've caught a few hundred and your opinion matters to me.
