Rod and Reel reccomendations
I've been using an inexpensive Orvis (clearwater) rod for striper fishing for about 12 years. It's heavy, doesn't turn the fly well. Now I'm going to pass that doggie down to my son and I want to get something nice that I can use for the next 12 years (or more).I mostly fishing tidal rivers, sometimes the surf and sometimes off the rocks. I've caught a lot on the fly, but not many big ones. I'd say average is 25 inches. I'm hoping to get a nice set up, rod and reel, for under $750. I'm thinking a 9 foot, 8 weight, tip action rod. But I'm not sure......any thoughts on the set up and what brands you like would be very appreciated.Thank you in advance.
