Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
Just a follow up: after the feedback I received and other threads I read here I decided to bite the bullet and not buy a rod without trying it out first. I found a fly shop in Darian Ct which had everything I wanted to look at and much closer than the other fly shops(90+mi) that had a similar...
Really good piece of advice... thanks! Right now I own two 9' 5wt fast action rods... so I'm looking for something a little different and in the softer tip direction... that's why I am considering the SLT and G2 in 4wt. The A4 looks like it might fill the bill also and may be a better all...
Thanks for the response. I did hear that Scott's service time is long.. Hope I never need them! My son also has an S4 and that's what got me turned on to Scott's. The S4 is a great rod. The G2 gets very good reviews for what it is designed for. But your A4 may be a better choice for what I want...
I need some help... I have limited my next rod to the two choices above... I have read every thread on here dealing with these two rods but have not found enough info to push me one way or the other but I am leaning to the Scott G2 9' 4wt. Do any of you have experience with both the G2 and SLT...
Thanks for the link... based on what esopus_Jim had to say in that thread it sounds like it is worth a shot. Hopefully the tubers will still be at home. Thanks again.
I haven't been up there in 4 or 5 years and I was wondering how it is fishing right now? I'm considering a day trip up there some time next week. I haven't seen any reports on that area yet. I usually fish below the portal down to the cemetary hole. Occassionally I'll try below the 5-Arches...
Good to know... thanks for the warning. We were up there last friday/saturday and friday we did park on the tracks. Before long a navy colored SUV with a large POLICE on the side(all I could make out from where I was) was parked right where we parked. He came down said hello and and bs'ed with...
Exactly. Even a pair of loaners would be welcomed and if he couldn't do that just being the go-between with the manufacturer is a major plus. If a dealer sincerely treats your issues as a priority and makes you feel welcomed and important to him/her you can't ask for much more. A business with...
Andy, sounds like you ran into the same problem I had... first two pairs the left boot on each was a lot narrower than the right. I take a size 10 and ordered size 11. Right boot was perfect on each. Orvis didn't have an answer on that. I went over to Gander Mt and they had a size 11 and both...
Cingras & Pete... thanks for the leads> That will be a good start. I tried to pm both of you but I don't have 10 posts yet.
Pete, I apologize for the multiple posts. I was getting error messages each time I tried and then when I looked in the thread nothing was there... so I'd try again. I...
I have a bamboo rod with the name Cummins, Cummings or Cummines?? Last part of the name is messed up so it's hard to read. It is a 2 piece rod with two tips, FL475, 4# 7.5'. I'd like to know some history about this rod. I found a guy up in Massachusetts who though it was built by a guy with a...
Pretty good advice!!!
G.Highlander... thanks for the XT feedback. My son is coming to the same conclusion with his pair but he has only used them on a handfull of trips so far.
