It's no secret I am a fan of a fairly high profile brand. But I recently
cast with several rods from the cabelas range and have to say, on a value for money basis, pretty damn hard to beat! -- Clark Reid http://www.dryflynz.com Umpqua Designer Flytier "Ken Fortenberry" wrote in message y.com...

I'll think I'm Jimmy Houston. bust.... 2 o'clock, 150 yds. PJ motors the boat into perfect range as you are stripping line off the reel preparing for the encounter. You repeatedly false cast as you attempt to load the kpos for presentation of the fly to those rocket denizens of the deep. the fish are gone, the fly is still in the air. houston, we have a problem. a few hours later, with many frustrating replays of scene 1 in the book, a bust occurs real close to the boat and a relatively successful cast results in a hookup of about a 15 pounder. the denizen decides to depart for jamaica and the kpos reel is torqued out at full drag setting. can you smell that smell? ... it surrounds you..... wow, that reel looks like a spacecraft on reentry,,, it's glowing! houston, we have a problem. the reel freezes on meltdown and now the fight is transferred to the rod. the dastardly denizen ain't happy with just a 200 yard run in less than a minute and is determined for another run. the rod is bending. bust! where?... yells PJ. houston, we have a problem. seriously jeff, would you hunt a deer with a bb gun? now i say/imagery all this with prejudicial humor. the cabellies gear may perform good (8wt is too small).... i don't know. what i do know is that i will have what i consider to be the right equipment when fishing to those devils. a super strong rod and a super strong reel. sage xi2 and a tibor riptide... in 10 wt class. i know they perform. merry christmas my friend.... i hope to spend many days this coming year chasin' albies with ya.... wally, been practicin' my double haul..... |

You remind me of a steelhead I hooked last year. It was extremely hot -
about a 10 pounder. I had a Fin Nor anti-reverse that I had recently bought. Very pretty and tightly machined reel, but the cork drag pad was a bit dry. That fish literally smoked my reel. I smelled something burning, then the reel made a chattering sound and smoke came out. i had to stick the reel in the stream to prevent a meltdown. All to the amusement of those all around me. I got rid of that reel last winter! No more anti reverses for me! Pete Collin |

Sorry if it seemed that way Greg,
I think I said High profile, but I'll go with "high-priced". However I didn't believe I was justifying it. I certainly wasn't comparing because I didn't think they measured up to the brand I like but I did think they were a lot of rod for the money. I find it interesting that if I am totally parochial about the rods I favor then I am considered biased and if I do offer an compliment to another brand I am "justifying" it. The reason I put in the opening statement was more to endorse the following comments as those that know me personally will know I have preference and to endorse another brand takes a bit of doing for me. The comment was meant to enhance the comments not justify them. :) -- Clark Reid http://www.dryflynz.com Umpqua Designer Flytier "Greg Pavlov" wrote in message ...

I (along with everyone else) was ordered to wait in a Hangar in Aviano for him and herself to show up and thank us for a "job well done" after the Kosovo debacle.

Welllll, now that Ford has applied its own highly-regarded quality control systems to the marque, why not ?? I don't think Ford has meddled with the production standards at Jaguar, and I'm certain they have also left Volvo alone since that acquisition. My Volvo was built since Ford took over, and it's a delightful machine; my company car is a 2002 Ford Crown Vic, and it's as miserable of a flaming death trap as ever rolled down the highway. http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/30/cr...toria.lawsuit/ http://www.safetyforum.com/cvpi/ http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?scid=96&did=759 The Dallas officer mentioned in the last article was the younger brother of one of my closest friends. Ford's official attitude has been "Screw 'em, we are the only makers of a suitable full size American sedan, and they HAVE to buy from us, so we ain't fixing nuthin." Because of this, I will never purchase a Ford product, and I won't replace my beloved Volvo with another as Ford stands to profit. |
