Thread: Inexpensive Reels

Hey Mac....how many fly rods do you own? Sounds like you are a knowledgable collector with a large collection. I own 4, two Orvis 5 wts, one Orvis 3wt, and an old spalding bamboo. 90% of my fishing is with the 3 wt. trout bum. which is still too much rod for most of the fish i catch.

Hard to beat a 3 weight trout bum. Thats a classic rod. Well my rod collection spiked significantly this year as I got back into flyfishing on a more consistent basis. Lets see I own the following.
Graphite
1 3 weight rod from Albright
2 4 weight rods (GLX and Allen flyfishing)
2 5 weight rods ( Z Axis and AEG loop rod)
1 switch rod (when it comes today or tomorrow from Allen flyfishing)
1 9 weight rod from Allen flyfishing

Bamboo
1 3 weight bamboo from a company called Reelwod
1 5 weight bamboo from our very own Jason Klett
1 5 weight now infamous Granger Bamboo Rod
1 Project rod that I will have restored at some point
1 bamboo rod on order that should come before spring

lets see 1+2 carry the 3..I dont know but I think I need a couple more rods dont you. I mean I am not even close to some of the folks on this site

Thanks, That topic would make a nice thread..... would be interesting to see what people have and what they really use....
