I think this is the same switch Scott Howell is using on this summer run. He gets a good bend going out of a 6-7 lb. fish.

Jump up to 7:10 & take a look.

I always thought of the Z in the fast action class, the new SageONE redefines fast action ?

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

...and by an ascot wearing, scotch drinking, fairy wand flinger, too! I can handle getting owned by a fellow bait thug (IE, Stam), but damn.....Slamo sure pulled off his Orvis leather driving gloves for thise one!

Looks like if I'm gonna go out and fish by myself, I'm gonna need to get a guides license!

I wouldn't be surprised if something like that actually exists. I'd love to see someone decked out in as much Orvis driving gear as one of those Corvette-owners with the hat, jacket, gloves, and whatever else the mid-life crisis store would sell 'em.

I thought Orvis only sells leather casting gloves, not driving, not to be confused with some other vendor's golf driving gloves.

Thanks for being a soft target Parker. See ya' in the Harbor if you're coming down.

Stam,

It isn't the snob or the scotch or the ascot. It's that catching steelhead in BC on gear is as easy as falling off a rock, that's all. Bait? Even easier, and fortunately prohibited. After 1 or 2, or 25, or 100, where's the fun or challenge in that? As a bow hunter or former bow hunter, I gotta' believe you get it.

I have many ONE's. Some have the letters LL, XP, RPL, SP, IMX, GLX, GL3, just above the handle. Do I need to cast another foot? Rarely. Do I lose fish because they don't bend into the butt enough.....;) That's something I'll never know the answer to.. evil

Some day I may own the ONE but only after someONE else has figured out they're going to put it in the classifieds in search of the NEXT ONE.

If we really want to get this conversation going, let's talk about flyfishing (swinging flies, wet or dry), and float fishing (nymphing)...and, of course, flossing (bead fishing)... while all the Ascots are blowing their respective horns and gaskets, I'll run down the bank and toss a spoon for a while wink

Fish on...

Todd,

The only way to be sure you'll use your Spey rod is to leave all your gear rods at home. Confidence, bro, confidence. Many of us have never taken a spinning or casting rod to Canada.

That is partially true. Last year with the high water, the fish were holding tight to shore and you only needed a 40 foot cast so I used the single hand rod the whole time. I finally strung it up on the last day just to play with it a little and so I could brag about Spey casting in BC.

I have not taken a gear rod but I'm still trying to figure out a way. I found a four piece casting rod that I may break out should the opportunity arise. But it is not a Sage One so I digress from the original topic.

Fixed that for you. Sad, but true......

Even *I* could manage a spey "cast" on the Skeena for a steelhead last year. Although, when I was there, the Skeena was so low that I could cast half way across the river at the vegetable patch!

Never did see any high water last year. Looks like that's not a problem this year.

"Cast" is probably the wrong word. More like...well...I don't know what it's like.....

...if I only had a Sage ONE! Damn.

Even a Sage ONE can't cure the water conditions going on up there now. Just about thick enough to plow. Glad I didn't buy a temp. license and a week's worth of daily passes . . . yikes! I didn't hear back from Todd; did he go?
