With all the talk about rods at the Canal or the Breachways and for this purpose or that...
With all the talk about rods, what are you using??
I'm currently using several rods:
Schoolies:
6.5 foot tiny graphite - good for real light jigs
8 foot G-Loomis SU965 matched up with a 5500C3 - my favorite schoolie rod as well as perfect for Albies and Bonito (home built)
8 foot St Croix Tidemaster - purchased from brother-in-law (Note to self, pay him) I'm hoping this rod fares better than last 2 St Croixs which have broken, once my fault :'(
9 foot Saber 1088 new style (well, its about 8 foot 9" after I closed the window on the tip) Nice eeling rod hooked up with a 6500 or Calcutta 400 - a little whippy (home built)
9 foot Saber 1089 new style - also setup with the 6500 or Calcutta 400, nice rod, good feel, more backbone than the 1088, one of my favorite rods. Was a replacement for my cut down 1209 Saber I broke on the Sacramento River fighting a tree :P (MAN, I miss that rod!!)
10 foot Ron Arra 1205 "Blem" Lamiglass - 6500/7000/Calcutta - first rod I ever built - casts beatuifully, retired from eeling but used for plugging and occasional chunking ( I know, that's awfull)
Too be built this winter:
An original plum colored 1088 Saber,
An All-Star 1088 (same blank as 9' Breakaway) I'll need to sell some of my 9' rods - just can't have all of these darn rods...
Considering building a fly rod :P
