Re: Your best stick?
I have been thinking about this. it os hard to say what yer favorite or best stick is.
before I started fishing bamboo I had a couple of favorites. or more.
far and away I caught my best and biggest fish on my winston lt. 8'9" 5wt.
I built a gatti 8'0" 3wt that was sweet beyond compare and I tried to break that sob on some slobs on the san juan. it never let me down.
I bought my wife a st croix legend ultra 9' 5wt for her birthday one year and fell in love w/ that rod. I'd choose it instead of the winston or sage. she loves it to this day and doesn't even want me to build her a bamboo rod (she wants me to build one for one of you).
bar none though over the past few years I've been fishing a f.e. thomas 7' 3wt that is the sweetest damn casting and fishing rod I've ever held. it's my first choice on nearly any river. ironically it's the second bamboo do I've ever built and I doubt I'll bump it from first string. it's that sweet. I'd post some bent rod shots of the rod in action but most of y'all have seen them already.
finished it two years ago. like october 27. since then I've built 20. that's a lot.
