Discount on Loomis and Winston Rods

I'm not associated with the fly shop, but I thought some here might be
interested in the fact that Creekside Angler in Issaquah WA has given
up on selling Loomis and Winston rods, and has several rods for sale at
40% discount. I can't remember all the models, but the Loomis rods are
GLX, and include a 12wt and a 9'3wt 2 piece that as sweet as rod as
I've ever handled. The Winstons are BL5 in 8 or 9 wt, I think.

The LTX which last spring sold for over 600 seems to be running in the mid

(I find a lot of them on froogle.com).

I'm going on a salt water trip with RW and Bruiser from ROFF late
Spring. I need both 8 weight and 10 weight outfit (these are two
suggested by Bruiser) we'll be fishing for bonefish, baby tarpon and
whatever else we find. I'm new to this. I generally fish a 9 foot rod
and would prefer a three or four piece so it's easier to fly with.
Prefer a faster rod when pushing bigger flies but not super fast. Maybe
a Temple Forks? or ? Reels I have no idea but from what I hear I need
something good that won't burn up. I'd also look to use the outfits for
Steelhead and/or Salmon (something else I'm going to do this year).

What can you put together for me - rod, reel, line, that will be decent
and serviceable? Maybe a couple options? I'm not a wealthy man but
understand buying quality.

How much for both outfits shipped to me?

Sorry!

I assume you meant this to be email to somebody, but where I was in
Belize there were tarpon that would be too much (in my opinion) for a
10wt. I used mostly a 7wt and 9wt for bonefish and an 11wt for tarpon,
but I think an 8wt for bonefish would be better all around than a 7wt
or 9wt. Of course, you could just not cast to big tarpon if you see
one, but that might be difficult. g Have a great trip.

I agree with the 8 weight ('cuz that's what I use for bones ;-)

As for the tarpon, I hooked four on my 8 weight and watched them all just keep
cruising 'til I ran out of backing. When I go back I'm bringing a 12wt.

They weren't "babies" though - unless baby tarpon are five feet long...

I still like a 7wt when the wind isn't too bad, but probably use an
8wt most of the time these days.

I got one right at 100# on an 11wt, much bigger and I'd go with a 12wt
too.

Willi,

If you go with Temple Fork rods, and are looking for a faster action, I
would go with the new TiCr line. I have both the TiCr and the older
Sal****er(now Professional Series)version rods. The TiCr is noticeably
faster. Also, it's my understanding that the butt sections are beefier
on the 8wt and up TiCr.
