starting with my Winston b11x 6wt. and clear intermiadiate sink and dry line, reel, islander ir-4...when the hogs start to show i'll switch over to the sage xp 9wt, Rio versa tips will keep me in whatever water I find, reel is an Abel super 8..Now that i got some roe for roe sacks Ill take out the sage ct 2106 and calcutta TE when the wind gets up...AND..i'm debating on trying to do more jig fishing this year...I think that might be the way to go with roe sacks and bugs too...

Sometimes having too many choices is the hardest choice!! ???

Centrepin - Sage 2106b (Custom Built) with a Milner Talisman.

Baitcaster - Sage 2106b (Custom Built) with a Calcutta TE 300.

Both have 12 lb Maxima Ultragreen as main line.

I use 6 lb and 8lb leaders for the North Shore rivers (Maxima, of course).

Hey Cohokid - You are very welcome! Use often, and with good health.

Hey Rick & Roe Kid - Thanks. It took a long time for me to get those setups. Better equipment does not mean more fish, though. :-[ - BTW Rick, has Big Steel (Dave) used his new Sage yet?
