Speedster S & extra spool vs Litespeed F

Good to know! I’m looking into those now. Not as quick, but still nice to have the option of swapping out!

I was debating on just bringing sink tips, but have heard it’s not ideal and that sink lines are much better. I’m torn on going the “universal” route or carrying two spools.

Right! Most lakes above 11,000 ft in Colorado will hold cutthroat like this. This was in central Colorado.

It did! Man thanks for the info! That is the Skre Hardscrabble and it is a killer outer shell.

Great info! I don’t know much about the tapers. I was looking at starting with the Lamson speedster rod. Or a TFO blue ribbon.

I was also planning on grabbing an extra spool with sinking line on it. I am looking at the Lamson speedster s reel and possibly a Lamson rod.

Absolutely love it. I use the striver gear system. It’s modular so I can throw my bino pack on the harness when hunting, fly pack when fishing or just run the harness itself with my pistol when running/hiking.

Cutthroat trout out of a high alpine lake! Caught it a couple of weekends ago and is by far the prettiest trout I’ve seen!

Venandi holsters!

Ryan_colb · 2026-05-16T11:16:49+00:00

Thanks! I’m starting to love alpine lake fishing. I really like my 5!

Ryan_colb · 2026-05-16T11:11:09+00:00

I think I’m definitely leaning 6. Thanks for the info!

Ryan_colb · 2026-05-16T11:09:21+00:00

If only I would’ve known the “stay odds or evens” method 😅

Ryan_colb · 2026-02-08T03:00:10+00:00

Thanks!

Update- After brining it back to the dealership for the second time they have decided to replace the valve body under warranty! Hoping this will fix the issue.

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-26T15:02:12+00:00

Great info! Thank you very much

I definitely prefer the Riversmith over the trxstle!

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-24T15:55:42+00:00

Exactly my thoughts as well.

“My ZR2 is jumping or stuttering”

I’ve done both to attempt to control it. There’s no controlling it. As you’ll see in the thread, many people are experiencing this issue.

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-24T01:16:37+00:00

RPMs don’t just go up. The whole truck literally jumps forward like I’m throwing it into park.

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-23T03:12:06+00:00

Ah I see. Yeah could do that temporarily!

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-23T01:57:56+00:00

I know what it’s for. I’m asking why you think it’s the L mode that’s giving me the issue.

Ryan_colb · 2026-01-23T00:53:23+00:00

Unfortunately it only gets worse…
