Perfect example.You can have a fighting butt put on most rods if you know a good rod builder I had one put on my 7wt fenwick

I would guess that your looking in the IM7 range for graphite rods next is how much do you want to SPEND lol

Where’s the problem area the cast or the fight

I think a lot of this has to do with the action of the rod and not the weight don’t get me wrong I’ve seen a lot of big fish landed on a 8 and a 50ld musky would definitely push the envelope but a 12 should be able to land a marlin of course be pending on situations what ever weight you feel you...

Sorry don but you need to go to some big chain store and load your tackle box( Buzz bait surface)but of course depends on how fast you reel

You’re still killing me with all these big trout grem lol

Lol good thing for the background every fish got closer to the camera gotta luv the bronze by far my favorite fish.

Try using zonker magnum strips for the tail and cut a v in the end not straight.zonker strips lay straight back. and don’t stop your body wrap until at least the 3/4 point towards the eye. What size helmet are you using they look big.

But let me think 16.75 that’s like 10 to 11 flys lol but I’m going to paint it on the porch wall lmbutto This is a kid friendly site lol

Palomar is for sure my go to unless I can’t get the fold through the eye then it’s the improved and the rapala loop

I’ve made women cry at the pit never from the porch lol

A day with z

Heck yeah nice one

Lol I was crunching some #s this fly cost me about 1.50 each to make well I guess better than loosing a 7 dollar rapala on the first cast of course this doesn’t include my labor lol

Do you get a discount for buying bulk lol

Nothing better then hearing your rod crack but not break lol.I’ve done 30 on 9. 10 on 7 and 4 on 4 really depends on what kind of mood the fish is in have had small fish on my 9 that have kicked my butt

No but I do go through a lot of thread lol and I have a life time supply of anchors just don’t like the rust

Fiberglass is usually soft or slow action so you need to slow your cast down (doesn’t mean a thing on distance) just style biggest problem is wind resistantance the puffier means more wind slowing it down

Barbless are cool but ever once in a while when you get a big smart fish on and #>¥]=|€~!~~^ it’s gone I prefer micro barb’s they still hold but don’t leave such a big hole when removed most of the time and you can always crush the barb ( live bait)
