Thanks for the reply's.
Would a 10ft be a bit too much for drift fishing?
(usually clack, sandy, wilson, and similar rivers)
for drifting? 4-8 in low flows, 6-10 or 12 in meduim flows, and an 8-12 at average clackamas height.
an 8'6" 8-12 is the regular rod I grab to drift with when I head out the door to fish by myself. Lamiglas Certified Pro model X 86 MC.
I'm liking the new rod I got for float fishing, the X 96 JC Certified Pro. It's a 9'6" in 6-15. Looking forward to float and jig fishing winters and summers with it!
I also plan on using an 8'6'' berkly 8-12lb im8 I just picked it up and haven't taken it out yet also put a shimano 4000 spin reel on it. steelheadin is new to me. but I am hoping this will make a good rod for spining and some bobber action as well.
Doesn't the braid get beat up on the rocks and fray? It happened to me when I was fishing bonneville earlier this year. What brand of braid do you use or recomend?
