Thrashador Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Marmot gortex 10 degree bag, North Face 3 season tent, various stoppers and some cams for sale...willing to negotiate. Stuff's all around 8 years old and hasn't seen much use in the last 4. Help me buy some new fly fishing gear! Quote
rbw1966 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Bring it with you to the pub and you might find some buyers. Myself is one. Quote

Crackbolter Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 What kind of setup are you gonna get? Trout or Steelhead? I am going to upgrade one day for the winston 6 peice so I can pack it on alpine climbs Quote

Any suggestions in terms of bang for buck??? Quote
Crackbolter Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I use a Sage 4 piece DS2 8'6" 5 weight with an Okuma reel. I think this is the best good quality cheap gear. The reel is about $60 at the most. The rod is more like $250. Don't skimp out on fly line. Make sure to spend at least $45 for a good fly line. It is the only thing that doesn't last a lifetime. You will want to replace it like every 10 years at the least. If you can afford it, look for a 5 or 6 piece rod made by Winston , Sage , St Croix or Powell . That way you can pack the rod rolled up in the ridgerest rather than carrying a heavy tube. The best lightweight reel is the Waterworks reel. I think I am going to buy this outfit next year. The whole package will weigh less than 7 ounces. Flies weight nothing. Tippet weighs one ounce per spool. You only need 4 spools at the most. Quote
