Fly Rods

Postby ShaaberFishing » Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:48 pm

Hey Larry,

I was wondering what type of fly rod and reel you were using when you were deep sea fishing catching sail fish;
it was in the episode when you were using a bait caster to catch sail fish and it fell overboard. The rod was black and it had a soft grip and a monster reel. I've been looking for one like that but i just can't find it.

Thank you,

Hi S
I think I was using a Loomis 14 weight for the sails. I could easily use a 12 as well. Just not as much butt stiffness, (which can be compensated for by angle when pulling close to boat or straight down)
There are many good reels. I like a large diameter. heavy enough to balance rod in hand. mid price.
I use a couple of the pate series and a couple of ancient Fin Nors!
best,
L
