50 years ago, when I was 13 I bought this Perrine fly reel with money from my Confirmation.
I'm still fishing with it today, how cool is that!
It's liable to be the oldest thing I've ever bought that still works!

I forget the manufacturer, but I still have one that is spring loaded wind in
biker_bill you would think you have a monster on the line with a 3wt fly rod . Lol. That fish was big for a wild creek bluegill. I love catching them .
a 3wt is a total blast.
Did some creek spin fishing...today. Had fun. They like White Rooster tails and Rapalas. I rigged up my Ugly Stick ultralight and a shakespeare ultralight to mix it up. Was after those stubborn creek bass I cant seem to catch.
No luck today at yellow river.
AT least yer out there...
My latest Fly rod is a Orvis 10ft 4 weight Recon . It’s a humdinger . I really fished it today. I nymph rigged it , dry dropper , and lastly streamer fished it all on the same body of water. That extra foot in length let’s me really get close to the opposite bank and sling it . I caught a ton of fish but decided not to take my phone and focus on what I was doing . The recon is a heck of a rod . I paired it with a battenkill with 5 weight line and 8ft leader and tippet
My grandfather had one just like that! However, he had it spooled up with 6# and used it for baitfishing crappie. Sadly, it got lost or thrown away by my no-account brother-in-law.

Does anyone use high end fly rods? Winston’s , Oyster bamboo? Orvis Helios? Thomas and Thomas? How do they compare to mid range priced rods? Feel? Casting?
