Every fly angler knows he/she can catch more using spin gear. Every one of us.
That depends on the conditions..if there is a hatch going on and fish are on the bugs, not even power bait will catch them..well sometimes, but I guarantee, I will catch more on the bugs hatching than any spin set-up...everytime.

Re: WTS 1/30
I doubt they have made better all around trout rods than the original sage light lines and Winston im6. Hardy perfects are just that, the perfect trout reel until you need drag.BiggerThomas wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 10:09 amSome vintage stuff is better than new stuff imo...Bill H used to go after cheap stuff...coaltrout wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:29 amIs there a big difference between cutting edge vs crap?

Totally agree , except it's nice having a good large arbor reel that pics up line .
