So I am looking at Temple Forks $200 even All Bright rods Any suiggestions? 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. -- Ken Fortenberry |

JT 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. Frank Reid |

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. Frank Reid |
