Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2019 Another 7'9" 3wt 2pc all done and out of the shop this morning to its new owner. Been a busy month trying to get caught up but this is the last rod that had to be done before I do an upcoming 3 week fishing trip. Now can focus on tying flies and packing over the next few days.

Well you may have to wait just a bit, but, I'm going to be ordering an 8wt with the same color scheme in the not too distant future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mad Duck 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2019 ok. Today was break in day. The Bream were pretty active today. I caught maybe 40-50 +/-. The Bass were really hungry. On my second cast with the second 3 wt, I caught a 3-4 pound Bass. I didn't dare try to tip lift the fish, so, I drug it as far up on the bank as I could. The pond is about 3 feet low right now, so I hopped down to grab the fish for a photo. When I hit the ground, the fish flopped, broke the line and took my popper with it, back into the water. No popper,New tippet, no fish and NO photo. I did catch maybe 15-20 Bass this morning, nothing the size of the first one, but still fun on a 3 wt Thanks again Steve. We will be talking about that 8 wt soon!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
