Wanted - decent 8wt rod

[Darrin G. DGREENEMACHINE]

I think I have the reel but will consider a combo if you have one.

I would like a bit lighter outfit than my 10wt so I will fly fish more... Before I buy something cheap (relatively) I thought I'd see if anyone had something decent they wanted to part with...

Anyone moving up out there?

You might find something at SJCFA swap meet tomorrow night! :D

Get a brand new Diamondback Backwater $239 retail.

Darrin,

I just picked up a cheap-end 8 wt St Croix last week. I think it's called the Premier model. Retails for about $100 but I picked mine up for $60 something. I figured I couldn't go wrong at that price to have as an extra rod.

I have a loomis glx 9ft 9wt 2pc for sale if you are intrested. Top of the line rod nly used about 6 times. comes with sock and tube. you can email me at topaz32nj@hotmail.com

[Darrin G. DGREENEMACHINE]

Thx Topaz but I have a beautiful powell 10 wt so a 9wt is just too close in size to make sense...

[Topaz32NJ]

you would be suprised how diffrent the rods are and how they act. just my 2 cents

[the hitless wonder]

i've got a cabela's 8 weight, lightly used. no fighting butt, i guess you could add one. grip molded into full wells with blue painter's tape. if anybody wants it, i will trade it for a 1982 topps kent hrbek rookie or a rebuilt starter for a 1991 volvo wagon.

topaz, you have mail

[roundthreeb]

Don't even tell me that you going to fly now. Don't yopu need to learn how to fish first????????

Just kidding D. Lets hook up in a few.

I have a 10' 7wt 4pc Redington. Asking $100. Used twice. Once in Grand Cayman and the other in Pulaski, NY

[Darrin G. DGREENEMACHINE]

THx for the offers guys my search is completed. Over completed in fact. I now have a 7wt lamiglas and an 8 wt st croix....

Anyone have an 7 wt reel to get rid of? Just kidding. Once I get them both I'mm be reselling one of them smile.gif

Don't worry Barry I still have all my heavy conventionals and my chunkin knife.

Darrin, what ever you buy I think you'll enjoy having a lighter rod for smaller fish like the ubiquitous (you like that word? It took me five minutes to spell it) summer cocktails. I bought a 7wt sage rplxi last year and it made summer fishing more enjoyable?

Anyone else have any experience with a light weight rod from shore?

Sure. I use my 6/7/8 wt rods from shore all the time. It's fun off the sod, and you don't really need to cast that far anyway.
