Selling my Rio Versitip Fly Line and Tips. Looking to sell because it does not match my rod correctly and this is partly my fault for picking the wrong line. Comes with running line, all 5 tips, nice carrying pouch for tips, line spool and original box. All nearly mint condition. Used for 2 trips, maybe 7 hours total, and only used two of the tips, rest where never touched. Perfect fly rod set up for salmon, just put on the desired tip and your fishing. Can adjust to the conditions and spots you are fishing in a minute.
Included Changeable Tips :
Floating Clouser Taper
15 ft Clear AquaLux Intermediate Sinking (1.5 ips 3.8 cm/s)
15 ft Type 3 DC Sinking (3 - 4 ips 8.9 cm/s)
15 ft Type 6 DC Sinking (6 - 7 ips 17 cm/s)
15 ft Type 8 DC Sinking (8 - 9 ips 20.3 cm/s)(#8 -#10 lines only)
Sizes : WF4 - WF5 : 90 ft, WF6 - WF10 : 100 ft
Color : Yellow

Package goes for 160 in store, and I believe RIO discontinued this set up so I don't think you can find it in stores. Will let it go for 100. Pickup in Burnaby/New West. Will be in Richmond and Surrey at certain times of the week. Also will be in Chilliwack fishing for most of the winter.

thats a really great price ;D
if you were to price this stuff out seperately it gets rediculous, off the top of my head (my memory might be off a few dollars)
fly line body - $60
tip wallet - $24
each individual tip - $24.99
I actually know people that have bought this setup by the piece instead of the package which boggles my mind ??? ???
why cant you just take it back to the store ans exchange it for the proper line weight ?
I bought a versatip online cause it was an internet sale but when it came they sent me a spey versatip (or i clicked the wrong one by mistake) and the store exchanged it and gave me the cash difference :-)
-
Well I bought it from Cabelas in the states about 2 months ago and it's just easier for me to sell it here then to send it or take me back. That's for the post HOOK.
-
Too bad it's not for an 8 wt or I'd be all over this.
-
I was using it for an 8 weight, I was able to cast nearly to my backing single hand, but when I tried to throw in a double hand cast I couldn't, If I had a singlehanded rod I'd keep it, but since I have a double it's gotta go. Maybe someone on the site who knows a little more can shed some light on if it could match an 8 weight single hand.
Thanks

PM sent to your email.

Back at you.

I've used this setup on a single hand 8wt Z-Axis and a Launch, they both work well enough though it was a little less tiring when I used the 8wt line. In any wind however, the 9wt versitip is nicer as it's gets blown around less.
-
Still up for grabs
-
I use my 9 wt system on an 8 wt. sage Xi3 all the time and prefer it to the 8 wt. setup which I use on my 7 wt. rod....nothing wrong with lining up a line weight, especially when it's windy!

Bump
-
I have the same set up in 8wt for my single hander
had i not recently purchased a new fly line body (last one got a nick in it)I would have taken this off your hands
I am sure the 9wt will work well on an 8wt rod
hope someone is in need of a set up like this as it is a good deal
good luck
-
Thanks, hopefully I can get rid of it asap.

ttt need this off my hands

Email sent...
-
You got mail
-
You still have the Versitips for sale?
-
Yes I do, need it gone.
-
Alright, I'm going to forward the link to my fly casting instructor and make sure it'll work with my 8wt 9foot rod. I imagine it will, but I do not want to buy it then find out it's a poor match and end up trying to resell it.
Please send me your email through the private msg system on this forum. Are you open to reasonable offers? Cant really afford to be spending $ on fishing stuff right now, but hate to pass up a good deal esp if it's something Id buy new down the road anyway. Would have to find a way to buy it without the wife finding out haha! Luckily she doesnt read anything on this website;-)
-
Sorry the price is firm, I gotta but a new set of line all the little accessories for my new rod so I need this money to help out with that. My email is linked to my profile so go ahead and email me if you are still interested after you talk to your instructor.
Cheers
-
I emailed my fly cast instructor, still awaiting reply.
Could you please explain what the "Sizes : WF4 - WF5 : 90 ft, WF6 - WF10 : 100 ft " part of the add means?
I don't get how the WF4-WF-5 and WF6-WF10 part comes into play with a line designed for a 9 weight rod.
My rod is a 9 foot 8 weight single hand. I'm interested in the line but I need to be sure that'll it'll work with my rod. I'm an experienced gear fisherman but just getting into the single hand spey scene. Thank you.
-
Sorry I copied that information off of a website onto the page and never really noticed that part. It means that all of the Rio Versitips in weights 6-10 are 100 feet long. Meaning that the running line portion of the one I am selling is 100 feet long.
-
Ahhh right right...got it. Will contact you when I hear from my instructor.
-
I sent a msg to your F-W-R inbox. Didn't see an email address anywhere on the profile.

Click on the envelope drawing. :)
