Hello all,
I've been readin up on this forum, researching tubes & toons. Got one of each so my budget is limited for this next purchase.
Anyway, my cousin gave me a 2wt Orvis Battenkill, pretty nice from what I've gathered. I'm looking to pick up a $100 to $150 2wt combo so I can have 1. a rod & 2 an extra reel for both floating & sinking lines. Any recommendations?
Everyone says to get a 5 or 6wt to start but I lean toward ultralight rigs anywhere the conditions permit. I'd rather wrestle a 4lb trout on an ultralight rod then drag an 8 pounder in on a telephone pole. If you get my drift.
Thanks for the help, past present & future. My name is Eric, nice to meetya.
