Deal went smooth, would deffinitely buy from again, thanks!

Nice fish!! I've never fished a pixy but I know for a fact the DX701C is a fun trout rod.

Nice pics and fish! but don't call it a small steelhead call it a BIG rainbow :big grin: Thats funny because thats what I said when I first saw the fish but after we got it to the net the guide pointed out a few key things to look for that are tell tale signs of a Sacramento river Steelhead. The mo...

Since I started fly fishing again thats all I think about So I might as well show off my newest fly rod/reel, and a fish from my last trip. Scott S4 956-4/Abel Super 6, sick combo...... http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaws/joes016-3.jpg http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaw...

It depends on what type os salmon were talking, probably be good for kokanee salmon, but I doubt you'll have enough rod or line capacity for any true salmon like chinook(king). Uness your chasing them in a boat they will take you for a ride, and try to spool you. It's been a while(13 years) since I ...

Here's a complete list of my Fly arsenal, all the 4pc Imperials are the newest model, very nice rods for the money. I just ordered the Scott, don't have it yet, or the Ross reel I baught for it either this should be a nice Bass/Striper/Steelhead outfit. 1)M.5- St Croix Imperial 804-4(8' 4wt 4pc) 2)G...

Nope these are all(almost all) trout and panfish reels, 4wt, 5wt, and 6wt(light cover bassin'). I do have a Ross canyon Big Game 4 coming and my 16yr old Bauer M3 is at Bauer getting a completely upgraded drag system. These are my 7wt and 8wt rigs that I'll be froggin with as well as an el cheapo Ca...

Thanks! I love my Bauers...... I have an original M3 I baught in 94' or 95' that I just sent in to have the drag upgraded and new bearings for $35 and a one week turn around, great reels with great customer service to match.

Just picked up a few new fly reels.... Bauer Superlight M.5, Galvan Spoke S4, and Bauer superlight M2. http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaws/joes002-2.jpg http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaws/joes003-2.jpg http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaws/joes007-1.jpg

I've caught flounder 20-30 miles inshore before so I'm sure they come up river either chasing food or to spawn.... Either way all I do to them is clean and remove the head, leave the skin on, wrap it up in aluminum foil with some butter, parsley, lemon, onions, and maybe some rosemary(depending on h...

My reel are easlily more costly than my rods... I usually spend around $200- $300 on a rod and start with a $250-$400 reel. Then after getting the reel I'll pop in a spool, handle, knobs, bearings, ect... So add anywhere from $100-$250 or so to the original price of the reel and it could be double t...

The only advantage of a fixed inductor is a lighter spool hence the ability to cast lighter baits. As far as casting management you are obviously better off with a moving inductor. Not always.... On light bait applicaions where the bait needs alot less inertia to get going, so your casting motion i...

Since trying Yo-Zuri Hybrid 2 years ago I havent had a reason to use any other line. The stuff is strong and sensative, on rigs I would usualy use FC line I use braid main line with YZH top shot.

You can barely see the true color of the reel, black with blue metal flake, it realy shows in person in the sun. This combo is my favorit to fish followed by the DX703/TD-Z 100m, and 736C/Zillion Type R. http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm378/ih8calaws/717566156_photobucket_77522_.jpg http://i317....

Wouldn't bother me.... But if it made the price exceed what I'm willing to pay then I just move on. As bad as I may want something if the price don't jive I don't buy.
