Main reason Im posting here is I dont have allot access to cast different flyrods and allot of stores dont let you cast before you buy so trying to get a feel for what you guys like and had good experiences with
My TFO I got practically free its a 9' 5wt its been a really great rod but being my first rod its been pretty beat up. Ive repaired rod tip a couple of times one of the guides is broken. and the handle is kind loose. I can send it in to TFO to have it repaired under warranty but they require a 30.00 shipping charge and all be out a rod for about 2 to 3 weeks. I figure I can put the 30 toward new rod and keep the TFO for a good back up.
Im thinking about going shorter 7'6 or 8' foot I like fishing smaller streams. Current Creek, Strawerberry, & the Weber. I know some parts of those streams are pretty wide but I usually look for deep holes and allot of the times I right up against the brush. I looked at the echo rods at cabelas they look & feel really nice but I wish there a was store you could cast in [unsure] Would love a sage zero axis but 655.00 bucks .. I like eating food and putting gas in my car so not in the budget [
] What rods and reels are you guys & gals using ?
