Got To Fly Rod Set-up

[Andy B]

Hello Board:

What is everyones favorite go to fly rod set-up that they own and use more than any other rod and reels they may have. Also include the type of line as well. For me it's the following:

1) Sage 2 piece 586 SP (8Ft 6inch 5 wght)

2) Reel J. Ryall for a 5 weight

3) Cortland 444 SL DT5F


This Sage SP out of all my Sage rods is the right size and gives you that just right feeling. This particular rod has a sweet cast and makes casting a pleasure. The J.Ryall reel is a high quality reel that takes extreme abuse and keeps working. It's a good looking reel with fine craftsmanship. I am a big fan of Cortlands 444 SL line. This is a good fly line for wets and can be used for streamers as well. The line is slick, good flotation. The line does have a memory coil issue at first when new in cold temps. This can be solved by stretching the fly line. The line cast's well and as stated on the box works well in windy conditions. OK Board, Your Turn.
