Wanted: FLy rod & reel (inexpensive)

kukukajoo · #1 07-24-2012, 08:21 PM

Hi Everyone!

Just moved back to NH after living in the UK for 6 mos. All my rods and reels and most of my gear are in storage in Atlanta as I decided to come back home to NH instead. It will be a while before I can afford to fetch everything so they will prob be there through the winter and I just can't wait that long to go fishing! I may as well be practicing my casting and get a line wet.

I do have my waders and boots (took them to UK with me!) but borrowed kit when I was there. I also have some of my flies and my little vest pack (at least the front of it) with some tippet, clippers, knife, etc.).

Looking for just a cheap simple setup that will get out casting while I am awaiting a job offer to come through. I am going a bit stir crazy not having anything to do here.

I am in Concord, BTW but would find transportation to pick up within prob 30 miles or in the lakes region area.

Many thanks,

Kristina

It doesn't say the weights.... I think I am going to check out Seirra Trading Post- they made a mistake once and totally made it up to me with a free rod/reel combo and a bunch of credit, too. It was incredible. I had forgot all about that, not to mention the setups I got are fine....

Hi Kukukajoo,

I've got a setup that I hardly use and would be willing to lend to you until you get your gear back.

I work in Concord and live 30 minutes north.

Let me know if you're interested.

Chris
