Hey TOM, sounds like a fun rig! What reel and line are you going to run?
I'm currently looking at 3wt 7 footers for upper Rogue/Applegate and some of the small feeders.
I want the very lightest reel to hold minimal or no backing and a wt forward line.
Almost that time now, too!
Hey! Long time no type.
How's it going?
It's ready to go! I put a Cabela's store brand WF 2 weight floater and about 25-30 yards of 20 pound braided backing in a Pfleuger Medalist 1492. Seems like a pretty well balanced setup.
I've only cast it out in the driveway so far. It handles 20-30 feet of line nicely. It's QUICK though, so light it doesn't "load up" gradually, it's just "there".
I went over to Glade Creek and then up Carberry last Saturday hoping to find a fish since those are already open. Water was clear but really cold and running hard, still a lot of snow melt. Think it's 3 weeks too early. Man am I ready for summer to get here.
Tom
