Muddy wolf

I’ve got my first fly rod when I was 16. Used it for B.A.S.S. then and still do. It’s an eight wt. I’ve added several others since. 5 wts to 10 wts. Like them all for different waters. Mostly use the 5 wt 8 wt.

I love this site. You ask a question and within a day you get good feed back from people who know what’s what. Thanks to you all.

Thanks I’ll check on them.

Is there a bait casting reel that doesn’t cost $200 that will cast 1/8 oz baits. I did have one but it got away from me ( my girl desided it was hers).

Just me but I have rods from 5ft to 7 ft 6 in. I use the shorter ones for accurate casting and longer ones for distance. I use 6 ft to 7ft most often

I use two 4000 reel here in Iowa. One on a 6ft heavy action rod the other on a 6 6 rod. They are both 6.2 to 1 gear ratio. I like the quick line pickup I get. I use them to fish light lures in heavy weeds. I have some 3000 size and tried them but went back to the 4000.

Are fenwick Hmx and hmm rod good rods?
