  1. My in-laws live in Naples and I go down there perhaps for a week every other month. Plan is to do some fishing on marco island beaches or the back bays mangroves (they have a boat). Couple of questions, Is the 8wt the way to go for down there for where I plan to fish. Also, anyone have any experience with using the Echo Boost Blue? Thats around the budget of a rod I am looking to get. Going to just keep it down there so don't have to bring through security all the time. Thanks!
  2. I got the 9wt and love it, but having a problem finding the right intermediate line to use with it. what are you all using?
  3. I have a Scott sector and I love it. if you get a chance to cast one, def give it a consideration.
  4. My father in-law lives in NH and he showed me some prime native Brooky spots in NH/Mass. anyone got any recommendations of rod/line combos for the small streams? I am pretty new to this type of fly fishing so not sure if the 11ft euro and 9ft 5/6 wts are going to cut it (that’s at least what im telling my self )
  5. These rods intrigue me as well. I am looking for a 10 2wt and if anyone has any experience with these would like to know as well.
  6. Was going to make a post about this but figured i asked in here first. In June I am going on my honeymoon to anguilla for my honeymoon in June. Has anyone had any experience there?
  7. third the Guide Choices with Chroma Pop. As MikeK said, for some reason they always seem to be on sale so you might be able to get a pair on the cheap.
  8. I think 9wt with intermediate line is probably the best bet (cant go wrong with a 10wt either but it all depends on what you are more comfortable with). Lots of good choices out there. Depending on your budget, I would look at the Redington Predator to start off. I have used my friends a couple of years ago and I liked it a lot. I would also search on the forums for "colton fly rods", I have never used any of them but plenty of people have on the forums and they seem to love them. PM me if you have any questions.
  9. Just curious with what intermediate line you use? I like what I use, Rio Coastal quick shooter, but your comment of the Long head true to weight lines intrigues me.
  10. i got the sector 909 for stripers/blues/albies around here and love it. I would say cast both and go with whichever one you are comfortable with. cant go wrong with either
  11. What Suave said, 100% get some lessons with a really good instructor. Best investment in fly fishing you can do.
  12. think we fish the same areas. Farmington and Housatonic Rivers in If the marketing was true, all of us would only have a couple of rods in stead of double digits since they all claim to make you cast better haha...
  13. thanks mike. I dont believe all that mumbo jumbo advertisement (believe me and you are on the same team where the best investment in fly fishing is casting lessons, but thats for another thread). Prob will pull the trigger in the next day or so. Fiancé is away so about the time she gets back she wont notice a new fly tube at the apt
