No, I try to keep my rods under $200 and the same with my reels. Still, multiply that times 9, plus several boxes of expensive Japanese hard baits, and that's still several thousand dollars.
I've been there done that trying to switch out reels on fly rods in a tube. Definitely a pain with a 9' rod. It's bad enough trying to restring a 7' spinning or casting rod in the tube, but fly rods add a whole new dimension of difficulty to the equation.
Some still water trout fishing is sounding pretty good, maybe I'll have to take a trip to Treasureton with just a fly rod and some flies in November when it's getting too chilly to chase bass.
