best time to start building rods is when you get in to fly fishing paying upwards to $1000.00 each reel and rod. a abel 12 weight anti reverse reel will run you close to $1000 a good hardy spey rod same thing. $395 cheap no that's what is wrong with fly fishing it to stuffy and starched pompous people who do it. they think there the sole owners of the rivers and there head's are in the clouds. thinking others can do what they do and afford the same is wrong.
like you said the guy is a newbie why pay $395 for a specialized stick it just wrong. he has two choices large or small mouth for his rod what about gills , trout ,cat fish ,carp etc... you could get a okuma slv reel for 50 bucks a ok weight forward line 10-20 for a good line and a tfo rod 120 last i looked way cheaper. or a albright rod when the clearance them out in the fall i think i paid 59.99 for my a5 9 foot 10weight for salmon /salt and a meridian 8/9 weight for 39.99. salmon/ salt. were only here to suggest not force our views on people remember that.[/quote]
Paying upwards $1000 each rod and reel? Where the hell you shop?
$400 for a Sage Bluegill rod is just wrong? Get with the program dude. If you've never fished with one, I suggest you hold off on posting an opinion of it. The $400 also gets you some line.
Sure the guy can buy some crap from Walmart, but you get what you pay for.
