So, I have been looking around to get a second setup. I want to get something a little lighter than what I have right now. Currently I have an Echo Solo 9' 5wt 3 piece rod. I really like it. I like the weight, the feel, the action, the price. Granted I haven't had any other rods before and the only other fly rod I have ever used was a G. Loomis 9' 6wt, and that was once for about 5 hours. So I don't have a lot of experience in this area. But my main purpose for getting a lighter rod is for the smaller creeks, streams, and rivers around here that are a little brushy and won't take a longer rod. Plus a lot of the fish in the smaller streams and creeks that I like to fish are not going to get too big, so I would really like to feel them on the line. And with a 5wt, that really won't happen too much. Thus the desire for a smaller wt rod.
Anywho, I was looking online for a nice 3wt or 4wt rod. I found some nice ones on Cabelas and some other brands too, like Echo, TFO, etc. I am not the type of guy that needs to have the huge name brand rods. I don't think that I, with my limited experience and limited ability to recognize the slight differences, would really need something from a bigger name brand when I can get what I need/want from some of the other less known brands or recently emerging brands.
So I was looking online and found some nice ones but nothing that really stood out. I looked at Echo's 3 & 4 wt rods but the price was a little higher than what I was looking for. :naughty: Oh well .... or at least I thought so!!! hehehe :dance:
I picked up my June - July issue of Fly Fisherman and was browsing through its pages. I came across an add for WildWaterFlyFishing rods. It looked intriguing :think: so I got on line and looked at their products. I .... was .... surprised!!!! :shock:
You guys should check them out. They have some nice starter packages for those of us that are just starting out, that don't have endless wallets, or want to pick up an extra rod. After reading the reviews, they seem to be a pretty good company and have some good rods.
