I get all my fly tying gear or any fishing gear i have from al / mickys.. Great place to go and also get to talk and learn alot about anything and feels like home. Been going their myself almost 40yrs and my father went before i was born. Go check out mickys!!!
Hi Al & James, do you sell these rods at the shop? What's the price range? My first fly rod was a Cortland, one of those "just add water" kits. 8' 6" fiberglass #8 with a level line. That's what I learned to cast with. The action was I guess moderate to slow, rated for streamers / bass. Too bad it was so heavy and the click drag pawl broke on the reel, but it cast like a dream. My last rod, after a few lighter graphite blend rods was a Cortland "western action" that I gave up on using because I cant cast it. It's rated 6/7. I put a DT 7wt line on it as suggested by a shop owner I knew, he said if it's a Cortland go with the heavier designation. Maybe I should go heavier still, but I know what you mean about modern rods and matching lines. Thanks for the video and offer guys.
Just picked mine up from Al . Can't wait to use it
