cheeler Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I just went with the Pflueger President. Much cheaper than most other models I looked at, but still a decent reel with some weight behind it to balance the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Im still getting the Z-axis, dont worry about it , just getitng an offer that is hard to not take for it. I gotta talk to Tyson, see if he can swing me a deal on a reel, since he has like 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDone Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I've got a Greys GTX 4 on my 8/9wt, less than $200 (Wholesale Sports has them) comes with 4 spools. I have a Hardy Mach 2 Salmon 8wt on one spool, a 12wt shooting head on another and a Rio Windcutter w/tips on another, plenty of room for backing. Drag is okay, wouldn't want to have to stop a Spring with it but it was fine for Island Steel. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 So i've got myself a 13' 6" sage, Rio Scandi line with tip wallet and 4 tips...Still gotta figure out the reel im getting....pretty likely that it will be a Ross though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Sounds like the 7136 z-axis series which is a great rod for almost any fishing situation. A 13'6" is sometimes a little long for tight shorelines with heavy green to your back, but you most often can wade a few steps out to get away from the trees to make your casts. What weight and length is the Scandi Head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's a custom scandi by tyson..wont tell me anything about it.. Not a z-axis though, bit older Has an extra rod tip thats a bit shorter so its meatier for the sink tips....its just plain awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
