Uh, they have free shipping when you spend over 150. *Thats not

You do realize you're trying to hold something perilously close to an actual
conversation with a borderline literate idiot, yes?

You do realise where you are, no?

$32 freight on a $39 reel is a rip off...but, you could
never grasp that concept...that is what makes you who you are....

Where do you get that it's a $39 reel? Even at half the MSRP, it's
over $100. So $72 for purchase, including shipping, on a reel that
lists for $250 is not a bad deal at all in my book.

I am abouit to buy a 8 wieght or a 7 wt rod - (bone fish)
sal****er rod
A 3 or 4 pc would be nice
(I already have 9 weights)

I usually buy Sage but I not want to spend the $$ this time
I my also buy a reel or use a Lamson reel I have spooled for 9 wt.

So I am looking at
Temple Forks *$200
even All Bright rods

Any suiggestions?
Thanks
Fred

An 8wt is ideal for bonefish. I recently bought a Sage Z-Axis for just
that purpose. Expensive, but I love the rod.

IMO, you should get a fast tip-action rod to handle the wind.

Thanks all for the sdvice'
I bought a Temple Forks 8 wt 4 pc 9 feet

What, or where, the hell, by the way, does "Temple Forks" refer to?

anyone, sans prejudice, despite past misdemeanors.

it's a fly rod mfr...you know, like sage, loomis, winston...lefty kreh
and some others have endorsed ($$$). price range similar to other rod
makers. it's received mixed reviews...

jeff (assuming that's what you were seeking, though i rather prefer
Hells Forks for a rod name)

I knew about the rods. I was wondering about the origin of the name.
Sounds like the name of a stream or a portion of one.
