Hey thanks guys for your recommendations, I will definately give these a look. This rod will primarely be for the Catt and maybe the Grand. Like I said I just started, 3 times out, and I am getting the hand of casting, not sure what the casting style is. Depending on what side I'm on, for instance, if the flow is from right to left, I would swing it upstream to my right, then across to the left have the line lay in front of me, bring it back to my right then cast out.
If the flow was left to right, I would, pull across to my left side, then to my right and cast.
I would guess I was casting about 60 to 70 ft at best. I think I was ok, but I did get carried away one time, and now I have a hole in my waders. :chuckle:
I think price will be a major factor in this decision, but I hope I'll be able to find something.
Thanks again,
Glenn
