BPS $13 dollar combo

Recommended Posts

I got them today. I got a 4wt 7 footer and a 5wt 8'6". I bought them as beater rods for the kids. The reel seats are metal. The reels are terrible due to the weight. They are super heavy and throw off the balance on the rod. The line isn't much to write home about either. I put my 4wt Redington zero reel on it with a decent line and it was ok. I'll throw the 5 tomorrow.

 

All in all it was worth $13 bucks. I wouldn't pay retail. Just my.02 cents.

The Dogwood Canyon Rods I have, Steve, have metal reel seats.

 

That's good to hear, they must have changed them at some point since I cast one. Buddy I got involved in fly fishing bought one as his first rod years ago, that was the one that had a plastic seat on it. I won't say how long ago that was though, would show my age too much lol
