Cheap IM10 fly rods on Ebay - anyone ever try them?
Saltydogfishing replied to formula1's topic in Fly Fishing
I fish maxcatch rods and love them. Buy the salt pro for a little more money. Much better casting rod than the predator series. Don’t order from eBay though. Order direct from them. They will not warranty if you buy from anyone else but them. I have had to replace a tip due to client error and it costs 1 dollar for a replacement tip shipped. Just need to save your original order info. Have caught big stripers on these rods. I know am part of Douglas rods pro staff so I use their LRS lines which are great in a budget minded range and highly suggest looking in to them too but I have nothing bad to say about maxcatch. I still exclusively use max catch reels. -

That’s a great way to gauge your fishing day. Sometimes I look down at my bass thumb the day after a good trip and it triggers memories of fish form that trip and trips from the past.

Most underrated reel for the coin.....

I still use my penn sargus reels. Love them. Penn fierce replaced them and jumped the price by 30 bucks. Now I use penn pursuit 3. -
Green lights attract bait but it has to be in the water for a while. I catch a lot of fish off of docks with submerged green lights. More so than any other color

That good with me. I just need one by early June.

Yep. Just what I’m looking for. Would you mind if I pick it up Thursday. Fair asking price.

Looking to pic up a flying gaff on Long Island. Doesn’t have to be fancy as long as it’s functional. I might use it twice a year. Lost mine in a move 8 years ago and never replaced it. Just goes to show how much I use them but I should have one anyway
-
I use a rod company called maxcatch. I have not used their freshwater outfits but I love their saltwater predator rods. They are inexpensive but quality. However their fly lines are not great. I would suggest buying a quality line.

Once I see dolphin I stop fishing and just enjoy there presence. Have tried fishing around them but never caught anything around them. Offshore fishing for tuna a completely different story but bass nope. Go somewhere else.

That’s sad but what’s worse is you can’t even get a saltwater trolling motor from them these days. I was on a waiting list for the 87 inch motor and 2 12” hummingbird solix for 5 months. Couldn’t wait any longer and I scraped the trolling motor idea for at least this year and went with Simrad. Johnson outdoors lost about 10,000 dollars worth of business with me and who knows how many others had to make the same decision that I did. ps. Extremely happy with my Simrad products. Hopefully motorguide gets into the longer shaft game and I will go with them.

Call me crazy, cheap, or both but I love the penn pursuit 3. Ht-100 drag and the price can’t be beat. I use them for fishing charters and have no complaints from any clients. Quick mist after a trip to get off surface salt then switch the nozzle to shower which is just a little heavier of a spray to thoroughly clean the reel without driving any particulates inside the reel and strip them down at the end of the season and lightly re-grease. Have been work horses. For 50 bucks a pop I have a few backups just in case. Haven’t needed them yet.
