Zach…Lauren has to know that many more rods are going to cross the threshold of the doorway at the house.
See your message box.
I would go the route of purchasing a decent vise and a few tools and then pick a few flies that you use a lot of on the rivers that you fish in N.C.
The downside to kits is that they are filled up with a lot of materials that you may never have a reason to use and sometimes the quality of the materials in the kit is lacking.
I haven’t picked up a book on rod building yet…that has been pushed to the back burner for right now…I’ve got fly boxes to fill first!
Thanks Zach…I enjoy posting a few photographs from a trip from time to time…and also REALLY enjoy seeing where other people are casting flies at.
I am a fan of the Scott V2 series of rods.
I have not cast the Winston Ascent but have not heard a lot of good about them.
I wouldn’t say that it will make or break your trip…but the short rods are REALLY enjoyable to fish on these narrow tree lined and covered rivers. This past trip to N.C. really showed me how enjoyable a seven foot is…and how different it is from using the “long” eight foot plus rods. Thoughout the day I didn’t have worry about catching a branch with my backcast…or sending a missed hookset into the trees above.
These are great waters for old glass rods and new…such as a Scott “F” in any weight…though I’d suggest a three or four weight for all around use. Also nice are slow to medium action graphite as well.
Just my two cents.
I wouldn’t mind starting a Sunday night chat if there was enough interest…or if there is a few people online at once just making a post any time during the week that you’ll be in the chat room.
