8 wt or 7 weight rods
 
I am abouit to buy a 8 wieght or a 7 wt rod - (bone fish)
sal****er rod
A 3 or 4 pc would be nice
(I already have 9 weights)

I usually buy Sage but I not want to spend the $$ this time
I my also buy a reel or use a Lamson reel I have spooled for 9 wt.

So I am looking at
Temple Forks $200
even All Bright rods

Any suiggestions?
Thanks

Take a look at the Sage FLi. It's a recently discontinued line
and a lot of places are selling them off cheap. I have a 10' 7wt
I bought as my backup smallmouth/steelhead rod and I really like
the way it casts. The successor to the FLi is the Flight, I've
never cast one but the 4pc. 7&8 wts retail for $340.

Look at the A-5 rod. VERY nice. I've got the 10wt and am buying an
8wt. REALLY incredible for the price.

Can that be an accurate price?

Same for the 7/8. Looks like a nice reel for the price...

Anyone familiar with this reel?

Got two. If you want pretty and a drag that will stop a 50 lb
chinook, don't get it. If you're after 20 lb steelies or 10 lb browns
and you believe that reels are there to hold lines, they're perfect.

Uh, they have free shipping when you spend over 150. Thats not
"infalted." What are you talking about? Have you ever dealt with
this company? Used their equipment or bought something from them? I
have and have no complaints. When you make an assumption and turn it
into a statement based upon inadequate information or information that
you guess at, you look more of a fool than even we can imagine. And
we're fishermen with great imaginations.

You do realize you're trying to hold something perilously close to an actual
conversation with a borderline literate idiot, yes?
