What kind of fly was it?
@Lake2Bay6 күн бұрын
I forget the name now but you can find these flies at bass pro. Best fly I’ve ever used for peacock bass. I think it reminds them of cichlids.

This is an amazing reel. Just bought one after owning another previous generation sienna. It has lasted me over 8 years. This is very budget friendly but packs a punch. Walmart has the sienna 2500 at 29.99. That is a killer price to pick up.
@KB-ic3th9 күн бұрын
I've got a sienna 500...after about a year, it binds when reeling to the point that I've lost fish and its miserable to use. It's probably worth what you pay for it for a while, but it's disposable.

I was looking for a new spinning reel and found the Shimano FX 2500 HG at Walmart for around $20, so I picked one up. Thanks for your video on this reel. I had not seen these reels before. I believe I will enjoy this reel.

I started with the 9’ 6w bighorn combo. Honestly it’s hard to beat for a starter rod. I’ve talked to a few anglers who haven’t bothered to upgrade and who have been fishing for years. Key is maintaining the combo properly and it will serve you well. I might eventually upgrade the fly line.

This rod and reel combo is an absolute bargain. It's entry level, price-wise, but not entry level performance-wise. I am not brand new to fly fishing and am considered an advanced caster, and this Bighorn lineup of fly rods are outstanding. The Dogwood Canyon rod is a stunning deal for $49, but this Bighorn rod is crazy good. The performance to dollar is amazing. Get one.

I'm also thinking of getting this combo, but I"m also wondering what might be the difference between the White River Fly Bighorn Outfit & White River Fly Prestige Outfit....
