Dude..I'm new at this stop asking all these hard questions... LolOriginally Posted by robmedina
I currently own three fly rods.
The 5wt TFO Pro Special/Lamson Konic II combo I find the hardest to cast. I got a Rio 5wt WF line on there. I've been told to over line it by one and this will help. That's on my list of things to try this winter.
The 8wt TFO BVK / Lamson Litespeed combo was what I learned on and the BVK is easy to cast especially when overlined to a 9wt wf. The Rio Outbound short 8wt line casts pretty good. I have a 9wt Wulff monocore gifted to me that casts well and is what I've been using. I have a third line given to me that I haven't had a chance to try cant remember the name.
I just purchased a 10wt TFO Mangrove series / Litespeed combo for use on the kayak. I tried the 10wt BVK and its great to cast but did not have as much power as the Mangrove series. I can sacrifice distance on the kayak as I can just peddle a little closer. I put a 10wt Rio Outbound short on there.
The problem on a kayak is fly rods are built to a standard length usually 9ft in length which is not ideal when trying to land a fish.
Your welcome to try my 8 or 10wt rod.
