We absolutely love this gal. She is so friendly and very helpful! When we are in Soldotna every summer, we always make a point of stopping at our favorite fishing and hardware store.

Awe! We agree. Haley rocks. Their whole family knows how to take care of their customers.

Nice video. What is the mat that is being used to clean the fish?

I now have 5 Kenai Red rods from Trustworthy in Soldotna! My family broke all the high-dollar fly-rods, and the rods are the best deal for $67!!!

Like your technique. What kind of Gamakatsu hook hook do you use for that?

Can't you do the same thing with a spinning outfit? What advantage do you have using a fly rod?

You can control the fish SO much better with a fly rod, thanks to the 9ft length! Which is also why they used a 9wt (aka 9#) rod, as it's beefier and a bit stiffer. (I don't recommend am 8wt) Personally I like 10wt rod, but 10wt are both not easy to find *and* their "Kenai Red" rod is only offered in 9wt. (it's a good rod though, and we have a few for our guests to use) However, the reels are, admittedly, less friendly, as the handle is directly on the spool... So if a fish takes off, that handle goes whipping around and will bash your knuckles if you aren't careful. So if you do get one, be sure to PALM THE REEL to slow it down, *_DO NOT_* grab for the line! The line will be moving out so fast that it *will* burn you from fiction on your skin! I can't speak to the quality of the Reddington reels or their drag, as I stick to Okuma reels. Regardless of brand, I suggest getting a "9/10" reel instead of an "8/9" _[the number corresponds to the rod "wt"]._ It's a much bigger reel, which not only balances the rod in your hand better, but makes it easier to palm and stop a fish if it decides to run.

One trip a couple of years ago I would say, my group of fishing friends and I decided to stop there after eating at pizza boys, so I do believe the one in the video with a few others were all mad because we walked in just before closing. Now this would have never been an issue years ago when they were just around the corner from Godfather's pizza that is no longer there. Anyways, all these years, trustworthy is still the place to stop because they know how to keep things for fishing stocked and they sometimes have things that I cannot even find here in Alaska's biggest city, which a few places here seem to stock a small amount of things to never replenish stock once it is gone and goes on through the whole salmon season, so these places here should be ashamed that trustworthy outshines them in this dept, which I am sure trustworthy sees more people since a lot from all over visit to fish.
