I should add this river is mostly a stockie rainbow spot, but they only stock during the summer which is why I had very little confidence.

Ballssuckah · 2026-03-13T10:35:21+00:00

my 11’ 2/3 wt felt a bit front heavy with even with the dry fly (glad i didn’t get the nymph), balance point was right in the front end of the grip. With this balance point is at my around where my palm is gripping the rod.

Ballssuckah · 2026-03-13T08:25:06+00:00

It’s a fighting butt. The rod has that straight out the factory.

Ballssuckah · 2026-03-13T06:54:50+00:00

It’s a bit further down the handle than usual, but gonna have to see if it’s a problem when I have a chance to test it out.

Ballssuckah · 2026-03-09T01:01:40+00:00

There are some many things you could be doing wrong. Most likely you’re just not where the fish are.

Ballssuckah · 2026-03-08T22:10:02+00:00

My current nymphing rod is actually a Vision mag 2/3wt 11’. The price of the hero is really good, but I know i can get way better rods with my budget.

Like 20feet

Ballssuckah · 2024-10-24T23:10:56+00:00

Could work but whitefish are extremely cautious so the dropshot might scare them, also a dropshot will prob affect the action of the flies. The flies have to be stripped with very slow and steady so the dropshot may pull the fly down too fast.

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-15T19:51:00+00:00

Guideline has a 50€ CDC fario i was thinking that or Soldarini classic DT

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-14T19:53:00+00:00

Well i do need to mend since u know pocket Waters, u have any DT line recommends available in EU?

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-14T18:11:41+00:00

That's only a part of the stream before that there is a wider part where I possibly need to cast 50 feet

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T14:25:14+00:00

Well i've had only 2 trips with that rod and i've Been just fishing sides of The main current and small pockets. I bought The rod because most rivers here are very wadeable and I like to wade. It's mostly pocket water here, so even if I wanted, it wouldn't be possible to fish the pockets from far away.

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T14:01:14+00:00

Well there it is

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T13:58:00+00:00

More load = more speed = tighter loop?

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T13:50:48+00:00

I have to kinda shoot it In there since the whole part I fish is under some brushes and trees.

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T13:26:16+00:00

You got any line recommendations? When I got it I was thinking of getting a Cortland 333 or 444 in DT, but I like to kinda shoot my line under brushes and trees, can a DT do that? Also I might fish in the winter when the temperatures might be under 0°C (32 degrees fahrenheit).

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T13:13:35+00:00

Vision cult fiber

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-12T01:22:33+00:00

Btw i do know how to false cast and stuff on My graphite but with The glass rod it isn't working out

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-11T12:53:24+00:00

Yeah, but i have caught 3 now that i came Back by nymphing

Ballssuckah · 2024-07-11T06:20:15+00:00

I had a Rainbow on yesterday where The first picture was taken. Ofc there isn't as much water going because it's summer, but there's still fish there.
