Re: Baitcasting rod
Ah! G.Loomis rods. Yes I already have one for Fly-fishing, among other brands (e.g. Sage, etc.).
Was so surprised at how easy that light yellow plug can be casted.
Going to try casting some weighted flies (e.g. Bugs, steeamers).

Re: Baitcasting rod
Wow what feeling. Can't wait to have my first bite and hoocked fish on the set-up. Placed some 5 yards 25lb backing on the reel spool, tied the 30lb braided line to the mono, then when the spool was 99.99% full, tied 2yards of 30lb Flurocarbone on to the braided line, and finished with a yellow thro...

Re: Baitcasting rod
Well I'm going to go and see Ed and be educated on the rods he holds I'm his store for future consideration. I glance at his web site and notice the three brands. Mostly one piece and a few two pieces. I still had a weakness for a Travel Rod even knowing you loose sensitivity due to the ferrule sect...

Baitcasting rod
Been reading a lot about types of baitcasting rods. Want good quality. Guess the best is a one piece, but that wouldn't be practical for me if I'm looking into a 7' Rod. What I would fancy would be a Travel rod (3-4 pieces), maybe telescopic. My understanding is that these later have come a long way...

Beautiful to watch
Don't know if I'm breaking any Forum rules here, just wanted to share this clip link of a 3 year old boy ice fishing and catching his first lake trout by himself. Priceless.

Re: 2015 Ottawa Boat and Sportsman's show.
Appreciate the offer. Haven't looked at the garage addict rods, but thinking I may just buy a new one. I've been looking at various make and brands, and even the travel rods (3-4-5 pieces). Difficult toake a choice. Maybe I should go various local stores and "sniff around". One of the trav...
