Hi all,
I did a fair bit of searching, but couldn't find the answer I was loking for ..
A while back, I rediscovered fishing and went nuts buying stuff and ended up with a Masterline 7/8 weight outfit with a view to flinging flies at small bass and pollack as well as reservoir trout.
This year I'm determined to actually wet a line or two, but the fishing I have easy access to is the river Avon - which is within cycling distance so I thought it would make sense to practice on coarse fish in between casting lessons ...
Am I correct in thinking that a dainty 4 weight rod and (weight - forward ?) line would make more sense than clumsily sploshing about with my 8 weight - albeit with a generous leader ?
And if so, is there a low cost rod folks could recommend ?
thanks...
