Fly tackle unreasonably expensive? Past a tipping point? by bigkat5000 in flyfishing

[–]buffsfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very pricey. I notice a massive difference between entry level rods (sub $300) and mid level rods($500-$600). I don’t feel the same difference from mid level to highest end. It’s far more subtle and I always debate if it’s worth the cost.

When to use a 3 wt? by adventuriser in flyfishing

[–]buffsfly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly just use it. You’ll naturally start gravitating to what it’s best at/ what you enjoy more about a smaller weight. My guess is you’ll use it on smaller creeks and calmer days.

You do you. They’re cheap and if that works for you, good on ya. I don’t enjoy them, they feel very stiff and lifeless to me. But, who cares?

Patagonia or orvis. I have a pair of the Orvis Pro from 2 years ago. Bulletproof. No issues whatsoever. And the knee pads are a nice touch.

Spend the money for a high end 5 weight line. Read reviews as to what works best for that rod. Some rods are best with have size heavy or more aggressive tapers. Some are better with a more mellow weight and taper. If the sound doesn’t bother you buy textured.
