I've been fishing the Cutthroat furled leaders for trout for years and really like them. Just gotta remember to add floatant at the beginning of the day for the dry line fishing.
Ends up I’m still on island! Fished with Rob on 12/16. He spotted five fish. I blew the first couple shots (excitement and poor line management in the wind). Had one follow but no take on the next shots. Then it rained and blew for about a week and I caught a head cold. Extended the vacation...
I know its been said before but ordering reels from Sweden is "reely" fast. My L5W 6nine reel was shipped from the factory on Monday morning (11/20) and arrived in Springfield Oregon before dinner tonight (11/22). Shipping cost $22 with DHL. Holy crap that is fast. Reel is beautiful.
It is a sweet rod. But to help fund the new Hardy Zane Pro 11wt and Danielsson H5D 9thirteen, gotta choose from the "rod and reel savings". It was either this ACR, Beulah Onyx 7129, Islander Spey, or the Abel Spey reel. Tough choice between the four. :unsure:
Selling these three to fund the purchase of a couple Danielsson reels for my upcoming saltwater trip. All function properly with minimal wear. Lines not included. No pouches.
