8wt rod reviews
(Preview)
I'm in the market for an 8wt 10' rod for steelhead....my 7wt just doesn't have the power that i need to make long casts with big flies. I have lots of high dollar equipment that I'm happy with, but I'm thinking of going the cheap route and getting Redington cps or cpx. People say that they are as good as many...

Rod & reel wt ratings over time
(Preview)
I've heard it said that older rods rated at say, 6 wt would be best paired with a modern 5 wt line. For example, I have an original Sage 6wt/7wt 9' rod (no model designation), would that best be matched with a 5 wt / 6 wt line? Is there a similar "rule" for reels? I could go through trial and er...

Sharkskin line

I ponied up for some Sharkskin line last week and got to toss it a lot on the Yuba last week. Once you get used to the annoying noise, it does cast better and really floats well. I didn't think it was so far superior over other lines I've used in the past, but I'm interested to see how it maintains its' boyan...
