New Fly Rod 8 Weight Recommendations
When I wrote this I was out of town. The rod I bought is a Orvis
Trident TLS 908. It's a 2 piece 9'0" rod in 8 weight in flex tip 9.5.
I am really surprised at the lack of information about Flylogic reels
and rods. The company has been in business for 10 years. I have
friends that use the reels in Coloardo and Alaska and are excellent
fly fisherman. They can buy whatever they want in the way of equipment
and they recommended the reels to me. They did this knowing I use Ross
Gunnison and Orvis battenkill disc drag reels. The Flylogic reels I
bought are really well made and have smooth powerful drags.
I don't work or have and affiliation with Flylogic but as I try to do
research on them their is little information about them on the web. I
also find it interesting that they almost never show up on Ebay by
individual sellers. There is one fly shop that has them up there and
it's located in Idaho where the company is located.
I will write a full review as i start to use them myself.
Thanks, Art
We will see long term what I end up thinking of the Orvis Trident TLS 908. I also bought a couple Flylogic Fly reels based on recommendations from my
old fishing buddies. These two friends just returned from Alaska and
said their Flylogic reels worked flawlessly on lots of big fish and
the disc drags were smooth as silk. For less then $100 each I thought
I would give them a try. I will post a review after I use them for
awhile.
