It's interesting to see what you guys out here are using. I've always used my Cabela's Letort 8 1/2 5 weight with 6 weight line for fishing in Wisconsin.
The fishing I'm used to is in winding streams averaging 3-4 feet across. So my longer casts were pretty short maybe 5-10 feet of line plus the leader. I see no one mentioned a Spey Rod. Is that method used out here? It's something I've always wanted to try. --Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Willy Gevers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 5:23 PM Subject: The Ultimate Rod Assortment > Here's a question - what would your perfect rod assortment be for the > fishing that you do?
