![]() ![]() Nothing faster than a medium-fast action is recommended. For this type of fishing we suggest a rod that flexes deeper into the middle sections of the rod to make this type of casting easier. A wider loop is desired when casting with double nymph rigs, big bugs, and double dry rigs. Rods up to 11' long are becoming more popular. For nymphing, a longer rod is normally desired. For example, our owner prefers a 7', 7 1/2' or 8' rod in 3 or 4 weight for small creeks.ģ) Will you be casting primarily dry flies or nymphs or do you want a rod that will perform adequately doing both? Generally a medium to medium fast rod works better with dry flies in delivering a more delicate presentation. On very small streams, long casting distance is not crucial and you may wish to go with a rod of shorter length. For normal wade fishing in rivers, 9' and 9'6" rods are good choices. We would not suggest anything less than a 9' rod when fishing from a pontoon boat or float tube and you may wish to go with a 9'6", 10', or even an 11' rod since you will be casting from a sitting or low position in the water. For that reason they are not quoted here.Ģ) Will you be fishing primarily from a pontoon boat, a float tube, a drift boat, from the bank, or wading? Your responses can make a big difference in the rod that you need. We sell Redington outfits that include rod, reel, and line. The owner of our company started his own kids out using inexpensive rods because they are cheap, perform adequately, and he knew that he would not cry when they broke one. Redington makes many inexpensive outfits that will save you money and still do a great job in catching fish. You won't know the difference between a truly great rod and a discount store model so why not save some money and buy an inexpensive outfit and see if you even like the sport? You can always use the outfit as a backup in the future and buy a top-of-the-line outfit when you know how to cast and can appreciate the quality of the products. If you are a beginning fly fisher and do not have an adequate budget for a top of the line fly fishing outfit, and you may not even know if you are going to enjoy fly fishing, you really don't need to buy a top of the line rod and reel. Please take the time to honestly assess your abilities, needs, and budget. Your continuing happiness with your rod and reel is our goal!
