Re: 6 piece salmon rod suggestions

For what it's worth I use a 13'3" Loop Cross ST #8 (31g, 475gn) 6 piece. It was recommended to me by Sea Trout expert Stephan Jones. It's been all over the world with me, I wouldn't change it.

Re: Does 6 inches matter

All other things being equal, a 10' rod will have a higher swing weight (moment of inertia) than a shorter rod, so will likely feel heavier in use. That said, I used a 10' Salmonlogic rod a couple of weeks ago that was lovely - though it had a two-handed butt.

Re: Why to choose a rod?

But no reel? What a rip off! :pirate: Ah, yes, if you want rod, reel, line, leaders, flies, mono, forceps, zingers, snips and line straighteners, it'll cot you $99. That's actually quite a price hike since COVID. https://www.maxcatchfishing.com/fly-rods/1164-extreme-combo.html On https://www.flyfis...

Re: Why to choose a rod?

Can I ask which Chinese brand? I need a couple of rods to lend to people I teach when they have nothing of their own to use.

Re: Why to choose a rod?

I'm a member of a casting club so over the last three years or so I've cast a lot of rods. My problem is that I find that I can cast them all equally well (or badly). I've yet to try a bad modern rod. Sometimes I have to fiddle around with lines but I can always make them work well enough to be happ...

Re: Temperature effects on Brown trout.

If you add the word 'scholar' to the end of the search string you get better results - though they'll usually be very technical. Anyway, this is the first result that appeared that was public. You could then follow up the references. If you don't have access to academic papers you can walk into your...
