WTB 8 wt combo
Trying to get into the salt water fly scene. Would like to get something that will last me beyond the beginner portion of the learning curve (even if I have to struggle with it during the beginner period)
Almost pulled the trigger at Rivers End during their 20% sale, but didn't and now I'm back in the market...

I have a 10 wt combo. A Penn 10 wt with a Tioga reel. There is fly line on there (shooting tip plus a lot of spectra backing) Not sure of reel condition as it has been hanging on the wall about 6 years. Assuming the reel is fine , i would want $200 for the combo. meet me somewhere near the RI border.
IMO 10 wt is pretty good for striper fishing.

I am trying to keep the weight around 8 for now. I have a 5 or 6 (don't remember which one) that I am going to experiment with for atlantic salmon this weekend and decide whether I feel like I need an 8 weight for those fish. If the existing outfit handles those fish (they fight like crap) I might be interested in this outfit.
Any specifics on the rod? Length, # of sections, etc. |

Don't have that much liquidity in the bank account for the combo, but the rod still seems too good to pass up. I am going to think about it for the day. I assume there is no rush Don?
I can;t make it out next Tuesday (brother flies in from CO for my mother's Bday) but I am planning on making it there for Monday. Nothing as it relates to fishing timetables is set in stone for me these days, so I might not even make it down there on Monday... will keep in touch.

Go with a 10wt
I recommend 10 wt setup. Casting large streamers or clouser minnows in the wind requires a rod w/more backbone than an 8 wt.
I have a bunch of rods and reels w/line. Contact me if you want to check out a couple of my old setups.
I will be fishing for the few next weeks, after that I will be free on the weekends

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.
I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.
2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
