Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Targus Gary Borger Pro Series

Anybody have any thoughts on these Targus Gary Borger Pro Series rods? I'm not familiar with them. All of my stuff is by Orvis. I'm looking at a 4 piece 9 foot 9 weight for saltwater. I can get one for just over $100. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

if $$ are a big issue i'd go with the Orvis large arbor B-Kill or the SA System 2-- both of these have a more reliable drag system and not for a whole lot more $$. Moving up in $$ the Ross Saltwater series is very good.
I'm not convinced on the hype of the borger reels. Salt means corrosion and very strong fish which require a very dependable drag. The Borger doesn't have it. Then again, just my two cents.

I gave it some more thought and decided against it. I hadn't considered the reel I'd put on it yet, but the deciding factor was just the number of times I anticipated using it. I haven't taken on saltwater fly fishing yet and I don't stream fish enough as it is. I think I'll take some more time to consider what I want and avoid picking up a setup I'll later regret. I have a large arbor Battenkill on my 6wt. Trident and I like it a lot. Very smooth and fast line pickup. Thanks for the feedback.
