How many rods do you use? (note: USE not own)

[Richy]

Diawa 6 piece 9'-6'' for everything except for the dap.

17' foot onset dapper from boat and tube.

Oh and just about forgot..............6 foot telescopic spinner bought for 4 euros for the holidays in Majorca that falls to bits after a couple of days  :lol: :lol: :lol:

All the best

I have my good 6 piece travel road thats brilliant for the broonies and pretty much anything else, its the only rod i use because it packs up so neat and is so easy to take places, which is really handy for someone who has to cycle to all his favourite fishing spots. Although come to think of it i do use two rods but ones a spinning rod so does that count?

Ok I've got a problem and I know it.

For rivers 9' Sage XP 4pce in #4 and #5

For lochs (from the bank) 9' Sage XP 4pce in #6, or a 9' Vision 3 Zone #7

From the boat, a 10' Vision 3 Zone #5 or a 10' Sharpes Gordon #7

For salmon a 12' Vision #8/9 or a 14' Guideline LPX 9/10

Loads more I don't often use and will soon be offloading. Watch this space.....

Well I voted 6+ cos I included my spinning and float rod and then I saw that it was fly rods only!

8'6" #5 2 piece Alltmor river fishing
9' #5   6 piece Fulling Mill gold stravaiging
10' #7 Orvis silver label loch,summer sea-trout and bugging
15' #10 Bruce and Walker Norway salmon

Also use 10' salmon spinner, 8'6" trout spinner and 13' float rod for grayling.

All have seen use this year

Greys GRX 8' #3/4 for smaller streams

Barrio Otter 9' #5 for most rivers and lochs - it's even caught a brown trout on the Don. Fred NB - when I returned it to the water it went upstream so you might see it this coming season. :lol:

Sharpes Gordon 9'6 #6/7 if I need to try and get out further.

My preferred rod is now the Barrio.  Very nice, and a lot easier on my wrist than the Sharpes (I seem to be developing a bit of a sore wrist, probably due to crap casting style)

Scierra xda 5#
Scierra avalanch #6/7
greys glx #5/6
and a old diawa #6/8 thats very slow

9ft #5 4 pc fulling mill - purchased on 'introductory half-price offer' from TF about 4/5 years ago (a risky strategy given their championing of Airflop crap, but I was none too flush at the time and in the market for a rod of preciseley this spec.). I like it - my bread and butter rod.

10ft #6/7 Greys GRX - a bit cumbersome but with an easy action, it 'casts it's self', good for early season sunk line/ intermediate work. Rarely seen after mid - May.

Shakespeare Onset Dapper ;has anyone tried dapping and not enjoyed it?

At the start of last season I bought a Greys Streamflex 11 FT 5 wt for fishing spiders and wet fly on the rivers.  I also started to use it on the lochs, but towards the end of the season , I went back to using a 10Ft 6  Loomis that I have been using for the past 5 years . I am at present trying to resist the urge to buy a float rod for trotting for Grayling,

If you aren't using the 11' for fly fishing why not use that? I have a friend who uses his to trot garden flies on Tweed
