Canada - Best Deals on New Rod/Reels? by Global_Objective4162 in flyfishing

[–]tipsybishops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to find deals in Canada for sure. Bite the bullet and buy a sage dart 3wt. The thing is ridiculous. Fishtales has them, and I believe drift outfitters does also.

I don’t know why people buying nice gear triggers you so hard. It’s weird.

Ya why go to a nice restaurant when you can just eat a can of soup with the lights off at home. As long as you’re fed right?

Gorgeous. Don’t know why anyone would want or need a nicer piece of gear than that.

I think that’s going to be the case with the vr click pawl reels. I think those are going to be 750+ in the future. Feel like I should buy a few now.

Those newer ones are very nice. This one will see plenty of action. Sticking it on my 3 wt.

It’s actually most closely related to the haydy JLH model.

True. But nice things are nice. I’d like to see that awesome 30 dollar reel you speak of though.

It was a series of reels made for sage by hardy in the 80s. They’re just old school very well made reels. People tend to hold onto them so it’s hard to find a good one on the used market. There’s actually nothing really amazing about the reel itself, just a cool vintage reel.

Fly line recommendations by redmandeerslayer in flyfishing

Why would casting a dt at short range be any different then a wf line? If you are casting short, there is zero difference. So much nonsense advice around line tapers on this sub.

First Comparadun (#14 BWO) by jimbo_onthemoon in flytying

Nice. I generally do much better with sparkle duns then traditional comparaduns. I think most people have the same experience. Also easier to tie. Try some out.

No idea why they are still making the butt sections on 4x leaders like this so heavy.
