with the 2 spools i thought i could spool with 8 and 10 and only take one reel. less weight and don't need to buy 2 complete reels.
thanks for your input. my reasoning was 2 reels for the price of one. we will be on a raft for 10 days. camping each day in a new spot except for 2 layovers. thus I will be running one rod on the boat at a time. then pull over to fish or camp for a more specific run, thus really again only needing one rod. Meaning if the pod is Kings, the 10 will be out. Weight is an issue to get on the plane. I think this reel will work!
If you are worried about one reel putting you over weight, then you are bringing enough beer! :biggrin1:
excellent point. Just trying to cut as much weight anywhere we can. Once in Bethal, we fly to the lake. We will need 3 small planes to get all or gear and us there. If we go over weight as a group we will need the little cub for a 4th trip in. The weather can be questionable, thus a potentially small window to fly in. So we are all looking to cut where we can.
That line of flyrods looks pretty interesting too, though I've never cast nor seen them in person.
I was actually just holding an Echo Carbon 4wt yesterday, pretty darn good quality for the price, and I've only heard good things about how their rods perform...
Thanks! I'm looking/thinking about a 7 or 8 weight for South Park Lakes. Don't really care about finesse, I want something with punch to throw streamers into a wind.
You got a stronger casting arm than I do, When it gets windy, i switch to spin gear.
I picked up a 9'6 7wt Redington Link on Camofire a while back for 50% off, love it. They still have them on there occasionally but I'm not sure about what weights they have left, you can email them to ask.
