pescatore Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 In the middle of last winter Rollcast offered up a free Redington 5/6wt Red Fly Reel with Rio Floating Line. I ended up getting the reel for my son. (Much thanks to bigbadfisherman1011, who was the first to respond to Rollcast's offer but wanted the reel to go to a youngster.) My son used the reel this summer, but I just got him a new rod and reel, so it's time to pass along the Redington. Its a basic reel and it would be great for a beginner to learn with. The line is in good shape but needs to be cleaned up a little. Would like this to go to another kid just getting started in the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythosbeer Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Very nice gesture If my neice was a bit older I might would take this for her...but I'd rather someone that will use it now take it. Great way to get a youngster started without having them bang up your nicer gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcast Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Way to go pescatore . Nice to see you picked him up a new setup and someone else can have fun learning to flyfish. That reel must have a ton of MOJO on it by now. Rollcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a tradition has begun.Lets see how many kids will learn on one reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
