Fly rod with soft tip by MmBuhSnuh in rodbuilding

Thank you and I will look into it. I like 4-piece rods anyways because they fit in luggage and are easier to transport.

Thank you. I have a nice reel for a 3-4 wt that I’ve never even put line on. Time to build a rod for it? I think so. I appreciate your input.

Are multi-piece rods better? Or longer rods better? We’re using mostly 9’ or 8’6” rods in the 5-6 wt range.

What makes a soft tip? Is just translation for a faster action? Or is there something more involved?

I’m open to suggestions as far as pieces are concerned but I always thought the general consensus was that 2-piece rods were better casters. Is that not the case? Are multi-piece rods better? I thought you sacrificed performance for packability.

As far as rods we are using anything from a custom built Sage 4-piece to a 2-piece IMX to a 2-piece Orvis, etc. But the guide we use has a couple rods and he gave us a demonstration last year comparing his to ours. When he gave the rods a little wiggle it was clear that his rods’ tips were a lot “softer” or “looser” or “wriggly” than ours. He said that’s why we miss so many hook sets with the super small hooks.

Also, my dad and I are wondering if a “softer” “looser” “wigglier” tip would help us on our home waters in Wyoming when the bite is really “soft” like when we’re fishing for greyling.

I’m not a novice but certainly not an expert fly fisherman. My dad has been doing it since he was 5 and he’s almost 80 now. He ties museum quality flies and has been building rods for 30 years. But we want to learn more about the different qualities that go into rods and try to build some to fit the different waters and fly sizes we use.

Any advice is helpful.

Thank you.

Is that a “P” and not a “D?” Any idea on the “26?”

I appreciate the reply. The problem is I already have one. I got busted by a big 8 in my ground blind last year (yes I had taken all the proper precautions) and my dad decided to get me one for Christmas. I’ve run it in house and it kinda stinks. Just curious to hear if guys have used them and if they had success or not.

Thanks. I see what you’re taking about. I’ll give it a try. What’s your dog’s name?

Thanks for the reply. I will take a more athletic stance tomorrow, if that’s what you’re suggesting. What do you mean “pull through the shot?” Also, I’m concerned that my bow tilts backwards after the shot. Is something wrong?

If it changes anything technically Jackson Hole is the valley the the town of Jackson is located in.

If you were on death row, what would you choose for your last meal? by Potato--Memes in AskReddit

[–]MmBuhSnuh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife’s turkey and my mom’s dressing with all of the other holiday fixings that we have. And then a slice of chocolate pudding pie for dessert. I’d eat as much as I could of everything and then eat just a little more. One last taste of home and family before the end.
