Vpass,

thank you so much for the offer, I would like to take you up on it.

Let me know when is good for you.

Hi J, for the 8wt. I recommand going 1 wt higher on your fly line. so that mean to use a 9wt shooting head. it will load the rod better, and you will notice a big difference in your casting. TFO is good with 1 wt line over what it is rated for. I have 11wt shooting head on my 10 wt. and 8wt shooting head on my 7 wt. there are times not lately that i could cast 90 to 100 ft, but i don't like to. usually i get tangles in the basket when i carry more then 70 feet. most fish are caught between your feet and 40 feet out.

Do you use a stripping basket? I made mine and still using it after 14 years.

I but the bullet and got a decent deal on the Orvis one. I did note a huge improvement with the basket.

V-pass if your thinking of bringing a fly rod on the beach with us let me know so I can bring my hard hat and goggles for protection.

NIce, Going J. Carp is not that easy to catch. What fly did you use?

The only time you have to watch out is when I'm fishing clousers. Had many bumps on the head, even a shattered rod. I don't fish them anymore.Lol
