I love B'n'M. Someday I'm gonna say I said this first, but these make some of the best high mountain trout creek rods. If you're into blue lining I honestly produce more with a fixed line off a bucks original than a high end 8-9' 4-5 weight fly rod. These poles kick ass and you can order a new tip for 20$ when you bust it. Try taking a 600S rod the places I go and you wouldn't even take it out of the case. Not to mention truly wild creeks you cant cast a fly rod. It's a joke. I occasionally need to use ropes to fish these canyons. Like hundred foot plunge pools, slippery rocks, no cell service. The 11'-12' bucks is the greatest pole in the world for hardcore tributary trout fishing. I can both set the hook in a rare tiny trout and land the occasional monster.
Question, Im looking at some of your rods as a budget option to use as a micro spey rod with fly line heads and a fly reel. Part of the appeal for me is that I can learn rod building by messing around with the handles/adding a rear handle and replacing the guides with snake guides. Which of your rods in the 11-14ft range would you recommend for this application? I tried emailing through the website but the lady that responded avoided answering any of my questions and insisted that you dont make fly rods…
I never launch my boat without them. I tried to tie my own and quickly figured out it it's not worth it. First time we used them we caught more than the guides in our area dragging jigs. Then I used a short piece of pool noodle to re-wrap them when not being used.
Maybe you could make one designed for kayaks. The long handle below the reel is just in the way of good casting when you are sitting down in a kayak. If you cut it down to the minimum needed you'll be a lot happier and you could be making something just for the growing kayak market.
I have family in Tibbee, West Point is a beautiful place, a lot of nice places, in Jackson we don’t have a Denny’s, you will spend a good time in the woods with or without a gun, you will see a lot of pretty places, we have an hunting club up there.
