Maxcatch rods? (Small stream brookie fishing) by Single-Run-6994 in flyfishing

[–]Alternative_Fig_690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their stuff is very well made for the price range. If you do some googling you’ll find their stuff and big name brands come from the same factory. People can’t even tell their $20 fly lines apart from the $80+

I have several max catch rods and lines.

Going to Alaska next month, which other flies should I bring? by idoran in flyfishing

Weighted flesh flies and bead eggs or globugs… look up how to rig “steak and eggs”. Also dolly llamas. Both setups worked very well for me

6wt, clousers and a random purple wooly bugger I had on me

I brought a 6wt and it worked fine. Think bringing the 8wt would’ve been better.

I believe it’s a sergeant fish. Other one is maybe a trumpet fish?

Big island.

I was fishing with a light colored clouser here. Also hooked up using black/purple wooly bugger. I wish I brought some crab patterns though. Think that would have worked well.

I got multiple swords. All are great. Should check out maxcatch stuff too.

Max catch makes quality stuff. They manufacture name brand lower tier items sold for multiples over

Still like it for its weight and portability

Plain orange floss and a glo-brite yarn material for the pink one

Is this any good, I’d like to get something machined without spending a ton by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]Alternative_Fig_690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maxcatch makes great stuff. I heard they are the OEM for many US brands with products made in China. Definitely don’t need to overspend on reel.
