Hello ...

I've been too cheap to get a real expensive long fly rod, so I went half way with a 10.5 foot noodle rod by North X Northwest. It cost me $59.99 at GI Joes. I matched it with a SA 9 weight floating WF line, and I can cast it either one handed or 2 handed. For a reel I'm using the SA System 2 79 reel, available at Sportco for $38.99. I guess what's really important to me is that I've caught over 100 fish with this outfit, and it didn't break the bank account. Some day I might have to grow up and get a REAL rod, but not now.
