fly rod suggestion - DSbass - 07-07-2010 Hey guys i'm looking to buy a new fly rod. I'm thinking of either going with the orvis clearwater in a 5 weight or the streamline in the 5 weight. Anyone have any experience with either rod. I have a decent reel so buying just the rod would be fine with me but i'm pretty sure the one that comes with the streamline is a better reel. Any suggestions? [signature] Re: [DSbass] fly rod suggestion - flygoddess - 07-07-2010 If I remember right, the Streamline does not have a warranty, where the Clearwater does. Big plus. I have cast both and they are nice rods.

So when it comes to fishing poles, I tend to look at the very best single piece rod blanks that are out there. But every once in a while a person finds themselves in a situation where it is not convenient to haul around traditional fishing gear. The telescopic fishing rod provides sportsmen with an option that allows them to pack light and still have the option to fish when the opportunity arises.

Thanks......[fishin] [signature] Re: [StuartHolden] fly rod suggestion - flygoddess - 07-19-2010 The question was about Fly Rods here not fishing poles. One piece(although, would be the Ultimate) is not an option. Telescopic isn't really a good option in FF either as the rod is the main instrument in landing and feeling fish, not to mention the added weight would be a night mare.

Where are you mostly fishing? We can narrow down what rod will be best for you. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] fly rod suggestion - Kelkay - 09-13-2010 The Clearwater sounds better to me. What did you choose? [signature] Re: [StuartHolden] fly rod suggestion - Dryrod - 09-16-2010 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]I doubt that any true fly fisher would have a metal telescoping fly rod in their arsenal. I have an Orvis Frequent Flyer 8½' 7 piece 3 wt. rod that is a very compact. If this isn't small & light enough, I don't know what would be.[/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] fly rod suggestion - flygoddess - 09-16-2010 Not to mention trying to line up all the guides.
