FG you've seen it all. Yes there's a AR decal on the other side of that reel in the second picture. I was think of getting a vintage hardy reel for it but I liked the look of that wood handled Battenkill I already had as well as the wood handled Angler's Roost reel with the bamboo rod. Besides it's not a vintage rod anyways.
Hey, you're the one that recommended that TT line. I didn't like it with my 7 ft 2 wt when I gave it a try. However it's just what the 5 ft rod needs to be able to get off an occasional cast with some distance when needed.
No rod is perfect for all situations. I think I need a fly fishing caddy to carry my various rods. That way I can use the right one for each situation. Up to 14 like in golf should be fine.
Can you still get the selective trout line in WF anywhere? A quick look and I'm only finding a few choices but not in 5wt. Not really familiar with sylk but I'll look at that before deciding as well. Thanks.
