New rod and fishing invite!

[Catcherman.]

Well I went and bought me a cabelas cgt 6'6" 4 wt for only 80$ I needed a small stream and river rod. I'm excited to go try it out tomorrow and if anyone wants to split gas or meet up tomorrow let me know.

I have that same rod! I love it! A glass and graphite mix. I also bought the 7/8 weight. Want to feel a carp on that one LOL
I took mine to the Uinta's. roll cast so easy. Think Little Dell too.


Welcome to the Glass/graphite side. A fantastic action.

I Believe that one in the pic is a cgr? The cgt is orangish brown. It says its T glass is that part graphite? Ya I just castes it in the yard and really like how it feels[] I also like the cork reel seat.

Yes it is. It is the up grade of mine. sorry, should have said that.
If yours has the same rings, make sure they are on snug, my reel fell off in my lap out in the lake...scary stuff.[shocked]

I too have a Cabela's cgr (green) 6' 6" 3wt. Very nice stream rod. I also recommend checking your reel seat now and then. Dropped my reel in a stream. I got it back, but got a little wet doing it. [laugh]

The problem with the reel-seat was because I didn't check that it was still tight after I had done some brush beating through the willows. Of course when it dropped it immediately washed into a nice deep hole. I could have pulled it up by pulling all the line and backing out, but that was sure to get tangled down the stream. So I opted to work it as close as I could and then was able to hook it on my net, but I had to reach with about half of me leaning in the water. The air was blue around me, but my, it was Refreshing!! [laugh] [laugh]

The line I am using is a SA weight forward floating 3wt. I like how the rod casts, but I have only used it on small streams with short casts. It is a fun rod. I ought to try it on some bluegills too.
