New rod for Wet Fly fishing?

[SherpaB]

cool good to know. I havent really spent much time casting or trying the G2's as there really hasnt been a need yet. I am going to have to send the 905 back to Scott to get the reel seat replaced, the but cap/back end of the reel seat just fell off last fall. I cant complain...it was bought in 1991, 20 years for the first repair isnt a horrible track record. I am assuming they can replace the reel seat...

I have some of the new Allen 10ft rods on the way to me 3/4/5 wts, looking forward to checking them out and will give you guys a report after.
El Guapo, are you using a DT line or WF ?
In the case of Scoot rods they kind of faded away from popularity, l know my local stores could not sell them and sold them out at low cost.
Its Sage, TFO, Hardy/Greys that hold the majority market today.

Davy, I have been using a Rio Trout Lt wf line for wet fly fishing. Great mending line. I also use it for dries and emergers ( if it isn't windy). I live in Maine where fishing wet flies is still very popular. While this method may be new to some, it is how I learned to fish as a child. I still use wets to this day.

As for rod popularity, it is totally regional. I noticed this in my travels. Though Sage is popular everywhere. Up here it is Orvis, Redington. TFO and Greys has a strong following in the northeast. In the Mtn. West it is Scott and Winston. In the pacific northwest Loomis is huge. Out west most wouldn't even think of buying a TFO or Reddington. For me it is Scott. I own 3, and am saving up for another. I wish I had heard about those discount Scotts.

After reading my last post, I want to clarify. TFO and Reddington both make great rods, I was just using them as an example.
