Everyone has one rod in their lineup that's a beauty to cast, stands strong against the toughest fish and lasts a hell of a long time.
I picked this eight weight up as my first "expensive fly rod" in preparation for my first bonefish trip and knew it would be my go to for throwing indicator rigs for steelhead (in my pre-spey days).
This girl is my Warhorse.
From the most pristine flats of Ambergis Caye Belize
To the dirtiest, nastiest, skankiest carp water, it keeps rolling.
It has steelhead, carp, smallmouth bass, bonefish, permit, barracuda, salmon, suckers, whitefish and probably a few other fish to it's credit. It's age has started to show but onward we go to fight more fish. It's a miracle I havent broken it yet, knock on wood.
So this leads me to this question. What's your fly rod warhorse? Feel free to send me your story, and we'll post it up here at Chucking Line and Chasing Tail.
