Good choice on the CFO 123 Disc. I got one for a 3 wt T3 last year and
love it. One thing though - I discovered again how important it is to
straighten the line at the beginning of the day, especially on a
standard reel. I needed to make some longish casts at the end of the
day and couldn't get past the tight coils coming off the reel. Missed
some nice fish too - if only I had straightened the line!

The line I was using was an Orvis 3 wt "Spring Creek" weight forward,
and it was a very good match for the rod. Cast very nicely close in,
and once straightened, was capable of some long casts too.

Hope this helps,

....yep, I have the same problem with my little LP-1 Lamson reels, but they
sure are nice. You can tell the your lawyer that the truck now has over
100,000 on it and doing nicely. Gonna get down your way this spring Jim, I
have a friend in Salem who likes to float the James for smallies. You need
to come join us if you can.

Make it a date: Got a nice little 14ft Carolina Skiff set up for flyfishing
(trolling motor and everything). I've caught some nice smallies in the river
myself. Lots of 'em in there. Give me a holler.
