Default 1 wt reel


"Dennis"

....

any one know of a good 1 wt reel to pair up with a 8'6 1 wt rod




Well, I just gotta ask .... what the hell do you do with a 1 wt rod? Years
ago, I gave up using a 2wt Sage I had because it didn't have enough
backbone to land a decent fish and, even now, when I break out my 3 weight I
nearly always regret it because someone, somewhere, exhales or sneezes and
the resulting breeze is too much G. Anyway, where, and what for, do you
fish that a one weight really makes sense as a fishing tool?

Inquiring minds want to know.
