New Surf Sticks For This Season!

[libassboy]

I have two new lamis a 1322 and a 1362m. Two new Rs also, 1264, and 1266.

Does a new 8wt two piece Orvis POWER Matrix or a 4 pc 9wt Sage count? I will use them in the surf, sometimes, maybe, we'll see, just might, could you know, I might give it a shot, have to wait and see, ramble, ramble ramble.

Whip - 30'/ whip (depending on how good you are) 75 to 100'
Dont strip, mend, let the current do the work, bang fish on

12" menhaden fly, I doubt it's a schoolie

I don't think NIB has ever fished a conventional 108 1L......I have caught most of my fish on that rod over the past 4 years......it has caught alot of fish and also a few good size fish.....I use it for throwing plugs to 2-2 1/2 ounces during the day. I would like a couple more just like it! Size does not matter NIB....you gotta know how to play the fish.

Bigfish I have a 1081 and it's a sweet rod I enjoy fishing it.

U r right my only experience with a L rod is in the 11 fter.
I usta use the 108 M in spinning an have landed 1000s of fish with it.Now thats no lie.I really can't imagine going lighter than that.I have alot of conventionals I have over 60 rods.I have a 8 power gator blank made into a 9 fter that is pretty light. I tro small jigs wit a 6500 wit it.I especially like the glass for figting fish.I have flippin sticks that will break a 108L.Maybe one day U will teach me how to play A fish.I usually just reel em in an let em go.i hope I am not doin anything wrong.
Like i said i hope u have good luck wit it an hook a big one.
Its obvious the area's or type of fishing u do are different than the types or style that I fish.nothing wrong with that just different.Tony STEZKO uses smaller lighter rods hasn't hurt him.Too each their own.

Of course i made a typo.Should read 20 yd cast.I have never emptied the fly line.or come close to it.I have read Kenny's book an I usta do alot of my flyfishing in the river.Half a weighted line an mono it was more like jiggin than fly fishing.Don't do it much anymore.i actually broke it out this past fall an had some funn wit some smaller fish.first time in yrs..I usta fly fish all the time before it became gay.All the fly guys today look like they fell out of some orvis catalog.
Now don't all the fly guys get thier feathers in a uproar.I get enough heat.
12 inch bunker pattern what ya cast that wit a spey rod.

[SAXATILUS]

I was just teasin ya dude. I cast it with one of kens rod's, The sitck, a true surf fishin fly rod.

I remember meeting him like 6 yrs ago.His glass rods where a little soft for me.I liked his Fly's I tie some similar. Very sparse.There was this kid Matt in My Fishing club Poor SOB is a transplant from RI.He showed me these flys.Right out of kennys books very nice perfect.I asked him bout them said he had fished wit kenny some.I tried to hook em up here but he didn't drive yet an lived kinda far away.I only take the long rod out at night now.Its kinda like riding a Moped.or Hookin up wit a fat girl.They are fun too ride but u don't want ur friends to see ya on one.
