If I told you guys that I took one of my light/slow action 9' Steelhead rods and strapped a fly reel on it... what would you say?? [shocked][angelic]
btw - I didn't want to wait around another couple weeks for the staff from Beulah to get back from Mexico on the 17th so I picked up that Pflueger Medalist Pro combo 8'6" 5wt w/Medalist Pro 1576 reel that I asked about a while back to mess with in the mean time. Went down to $70 - backed & spooled with line and a 7' +/- tapered leader. I'll "surgicaly enhance" the grip down the road if I feel its worth the hassle. I picked up the Orvis LA II & III last week also... just thought I would give an update on a few items I decided to purchase for some reason I guess.
anywho..
