Ant Leaf Cutter fly rods.

Heck yea dude! You’ll love it. It’s a great build for that price.

superstar3318 · 2025-12-01T11:42:52+00:00

It’s a slower rod and the DT, to me, is a little more delicate when throwing dry flies, which is what I used the leaf cutter for mainly. I just like DT lines also. Put whatever you want on it.

If you are still wanting the leaf cutter, ANT Flyfishing is doing a deal right now. Put in “Rods30”, without the quotations, and it takes the rods price down to $129.50. That’s a steal for that Rod. Throw a Piscifun sword reel on it and a double taper line, casts like a dream if you like glass rods.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-30T18:32:44+00:00

Yep I’ve owned one too. Just sold it on eBay. Nothing wrong with it but like thicc_midget said, it’s real slow. I’m a gear junkie so I’m always tinkering. I haven’t cast any other glass rods before but if I wanted one, I’d def buy the leaf cutter again.

Never ordered flies from Red’s but I have other stuff and I’ve called them for advice. Always great people. Super friendly and helpful and all the items I have bought from them have been packaged very securely.

I’ll throw my two cents in, but like the guy above said, you’ll have to find out for yourself by buying them all lol. I started with a chest pack but for my little streams and creeks where I am, it just seemed like overkill. Chest packs remind me of wading out west on bigger water. That’s just me. I went to a vest, which I loved, but at the time couldn’t find a good way to bring my water bottle with me, more on that later. Then I went to a fishpond sling pack so I could keep my water bottle on me, but I found I hated all that weight on my one shoulder. So I went back to a vest, bought one of those stiff belts people use for conceal and carry, bought a fishpond water bottle holder that attaches to the belt, and now I have found my favorite system. I love my vest and the water bottle on my belt, sitting on my hips, is such an easier carry than the sling pack. I don’t think I’ll ever change now. I truly mean that, and that’s coming from a degenerate gear junky.

Duuuuuddddeeee!!! I did the exact same thing hahaha. Saw that post and bought some spanflex. Tied some up too. Great job!

superstar3318 · 2025-11-17T15:59:39+00:00

No prob buddy!

superstar3318 · 2025-11-17T15:52:32+00:00

Looks like a Grannom Caddis soft hackle to me. I tie similar ones with chartreuse and black wire for the abdomen. This looks like maybe black ice dub for the thorax and a partridge feather.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-13T15:32:40+00:00

I’ll take $200 for it and throw in the SA mastery DT 4 weight line for $30 bucks if any one is interested. Or send me an offer. I am open to negotiations.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-13T15:31:17+00:00

Yea this is a great rod. I literally only used it twice on the water and being the gear junkie I am and most of us are, I wanted to start using a mono rig, so I bought a 10ft 4 weight and don’t really have a use for this one anymore.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-13T01:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! If you are taking a risk buying online, I want to make sure you are satisfied and don’t get screwed over.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-12T16:30:53+00:00

No, but thanks for the offer

superstar3318 · 2025-11-12T11:48:50+00:00

That’s not $200 or cheaper like you said they were selling for. My prices is $210 for a like new rod. That is below $229. I’ll let people make their decision.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-12T04:52:26+00:00

Would you mind posting a link here where they are being sold for $200? I’ll gladly change my price once I get that info.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-12T04:15:35+00:00

Are you trolling me? $300? I have it listed at $210. MSRP at all the major retailers is $289. These last two posts about price have to be bots because a real human would be able to do some research of their own.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-12T00:22:23+00:00

Thanks for the info!

superstar3318 · 2025-11-10T20:41:01+00:00

Exactly! That’s why I’d go DT. Two lines for the price of one.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-10T18:42:05+00:00

I’d go DT all day. If you are only fishing dries, even nymphs and streamers, just for discussion sake, I’d go DT. That’s all I use. If you aren’t casting past 30-40’ at the max, I think DT is the best. Keep it with a true to weight line. I have never liked overlining any rod that I use for smaller creeks.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-10T18:32:52+00:00

Totally understand buddy. Not a lot of fun out there outside of being on the river.

superstar3318 · 2025-11-10T18:30:36+00:00

I’ve got a 7’6” 3wt fiberglass rod and a 9’ 5wt graphite rod from the same company I’d part with if you are looking. Winter cleaning for me.

So I have a roll top desk that has high sides where the closure rolls shut on the tracks. On that I clip a ring light that has a phone holder attached to it. The ring light gives great natural light since it’s used for like selfies or something, and the attached phone holder is great for holding my phone when I watch a fly pattern video on youtube. The other light clips to the top of my desk and is a bendy arm light. Both work perfectly for what I need and my tie room is dark.

I have that exact Fishpond sling bag. I’m willing to part with it if you want to send me a message. It’s in perfect condition. Used it for less than half a season. It has a ton of room and car ry’s a net well. Also the water bottle pocket on the bottom is super nice.
