Well I ended up buying an echo rod and a renington reel. Very good help at Reaction Bait. Hope to try this rod out soon!

Did you go with the 6wt rod? The echo rods are a good buy, and are a nice package for the money. Who helped you out over there? they all good guys

[Ed]

I went with a 8wt rod for more fishing in the Squamish area  and Cap river. Also bought a wading set. Overal very happy with the purchase and service from the store. Ferdie helped me at the shop very patiently took 2 hours to buy all that lol.

Yeah the Echo warantee is what got me, and Ferdie recomended me that rod for a beginner as i have yet to cast a fly rod.


maybe one day in the future I will upgrade my set as i fly fish more lol.

Cool, although I really don't think you'll have to upgrade for a long time, if at all. The 8wt is nice, you can hit steelhead, coho, chum, and even into some springs, not to mention pinks, and others. What line did they set you up with?

[Ed]

I'm not 100 percent sure what type of line it is but it was the custom ones that they had in the store. From how they explained it, getting the custom line would save me from getting too many spools.

Nice, the boys there have a few different lines they can make up, if it's a bright sort of yellow, then it's a modified SA headstart line, which works  good when chopped and used as a shooting head, with tip system. If it is a head and tip system, then it will definately save you some bucks.

yeah i think it's a head and tip system they gave me a little bag with couple tips and the line is green
