Fly Rod Reel
FLY FISHING: what is the best balanced rod> reel> line> combination?
eg SAGE TCR 9 FT ORVIS REEL CORTLAND LINE
I go fishing on a 25 sq acre lake for rainbow trout. I find constant casting abit tedious so I am looking for a rod that is powerful and easy to cast with. Will be grateful for any advice..
Price does not matter..!
Thanks in Advance..
e.b I currently have all the tackle except a rod.Last one broke after a fight with a fly caught on a ankor rope I am basically looking for something that is easy to cast and that cast long distances with a straight leader. I would like somebody to suggest the perfect balance/combo that will be a good allrounder for every condition...eg windy etc. I do mainly lake fishing off a boat. I hear the sharkskin lines are awesome so I might invest in one. Thanks for your answers.
A helpful answer requires more information from you.
Tackle is selected according to the fishing conditions. You say you're fishing a small lake for trout but give no other information. Is it windy? Do you fish from shore, boat, or tube? Are you typically fishing midges and the like...or do you fish streamers & leeches? How far out do you find yourself needing to cast/fish? Are you fishing a floating, sinking, or sink-tip line?
And about the casting...what specifically do you find difficult? Do you truly believe a different rod is what you need...or are you somewhat limited by your current casting ability? You mention "constant casting," which is something that doesn't typically happen when fly fishing for trout in stillwaters. Fishing midges, leeches, and streamers (the three most common forage imitations for stillwater trout) is a slow, methodical game. You shouldn't be casting constantly.
I'm not trying to be difficult with you, rather just trying to help.
As for rods, what are you currently using? If your current rod is a bit stout for you, you could be getting fatigued and frustrated. If it's a bit undergunned for the fishing conditions, you can tire out as well. Is it possible your current rod is worthy, but you'd do well to go with a different line? If it's a "good" rod (nice taper/materials/construction in an suitable length/weight) you'd be amazed the difference a new line of slightly different configuration can make. Cheap, poorly designed rods always cast like clubs (or noodles), though; the best lines in existence make little difference.
There is no magic bullet for tackle selection. Finding the perfect outfit is a quest. You can throw all your money at it, but that doesn't guarantee results...or perfection. Take your time, find somewhere to test cast some possibilites, and don't be duped by ads or marketing lines. FYI, the TCR has merit in the right hands in unlikely conditions, but it's not what most guys would describe as a great or enjoyable fishing tool.
What To Look Out For When Buying Fishing Rod Reels
Fishing rod reels are a vital part of any fishing gear. The markets are full of different varieties of fishing reel, which differ in style and price. It is practically impossible to succeed in fishing without a good fishing reel.
One may get confused, when it comes to purchase an apt fishing reel. The search can be narrowed down, by knowing the kind of fishing for which the reel is required. If it is required for fly fishing, then according to the need some specific reels can be bought, and for the casting purpose, spinning reels are the best. So in fact the purchase should be based on the kind of fishing, which has to be done using it.
The most expensive, fly casting reels fulfill the purpose of specialized skills, which are needed during fly fishing. They are especially designed in a light weighted pattern so as to provide the user with a smooth and effective cast. These reels are not provided with any kind of gears so that when the handle is turned once, the spool also gets turned simultaneously. A special expertise is needed to handle these dish shaped and narrow reels.
Spinning reels cater to the needs of everyone, starting from a child learning to cast to the most perfect anglers. The beginners should go for closed face reels as they are quite easy to handle. It is extremely easy to operate these reels with the help of a button, which lets the line out. An enclosed case is used to keep the fishing line for such reels. The only disadvantage of using closed face reels is that they are very difficult to clean. The debris, which comes along with the reel, gets trapped in the closed case, causing hindrance with the drag.
If done as a beginner, then better to go for an open faced reel, which has an exposed fishing line having a bail attached to it. This bail can slide over and can easily be held down while casting while the line flies out at the last minute release. These reels come in an infinite variety and most experts have many of them in their collection.
The mounting of the reel is influenced by the kind of fishing for which it is being used. While being used for fly fishing, the reel is mounted at the base of the handle, quite below it. This is done to balance the fishing rod with the help of the reel. While using spinning reel, the reel is placed at the top of the fishing rod. A drag system is also attached to it in order to prevent the line from breaking when the fish is on.
Hence considering the requirement and the budget, the reel can be chosen accordingly.
