There has to be a billion Fly Fishing web sites around the world but I can't seem to find one site dedicated to the spin angler (using a spinning reel and rod). Is it just me or are there other anglers that love to spin fish . I have tried google and most other search engines and can't seem to find any - any help would be greatly appreciated.
I feel ostracized in a world of fly anglers and fly sites, not that I don't fly fish but my love is the spinning reel and a ultra light or light rod. Thanks again for any information out there.

For the past ten years or so I have been addicted to Shimano reels, seems like I just can't own enough... The insanity is I justify it by buying a new rod, well then you must have a matched reel right?? Any way I truly do love and think I have a better than average working knowledge when it comes to them, sorry got kind of worked up there for moment ... Better now.
Any way nice to know there is someone else...

Shimano has been my goto reel for over 10 years, but there are many good reels on the market. The reels I currently use are, Shimano Stradic, Daiwa Procyon, Okumo Avenger, and Mitchell Avocet, The Stradic is the finest reel I have ever used, fast retrieve and silky smooth, if I could afford itray:, I would probably have one for every rod I have:lol:The Procyon is no longer in production and was replaced by the Regal Xi, it has 10 bbearings and smooth as glass. I still use my trusty old Abu Garcia 300 occasionally, in fact caught my biggest SM bass on the 300 , almost 7 lbs, at Hagg Lake about 8 yrs ago. all total probably own at least 15 spinning reels, from 2# UL up to 30-40# plunking reel. Don't get me wrong, I do use level wind and also fly fish, but 85% of the time, Spinning is DA BOMB :dance::dance:

Fly Fishing
" There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. I can only show you the door. Only you can go through it" (From the movie The Matrix):think:
Seriously Mr. Troutski, I'm only having fun. Even though I only fish for trout with a fly rod, I still own an assortment of bait and hardware equipment. My treasured reel is a level wind bait caster Shimono that my grandfather owned but never used. He gave it to me because he couldn't cast with it. It still looks new and I will be using it this September for Cohos in Ketchikan. ( first time for me in AK:dance
I don't know why spin fishing web sites are hard to find. Perhaps on a Pro Bass page or something. Some of those guys look like they're from NASCAR!
Anyway, I hope you can somehow navigate through the fly fishing stuff and find one.
