I beat the snot out of mine. The coating they use is not as durable as anodized aluminum, but for a basic reel in that price point it has been above my expectations. I paired mine with a Sage pulse 7'6" 3wt and fish it a lot in the smaller waters around Cle Elum (home). Where brush, cut...

Sage foundation 490 is my favorite, with a SA infinity taper. Good yarny indicator rod, hopper/chubby, or a small dry. I mostly fish the Yakima and tributaries. For me it just works. Tight loops when I need it, and open loops for indicator or Hop/drop no problems.

Looking for a formula for building a leader to throw streamers. Size 8 cone head Wolly B, 6wt, 9ft 9ft nymph leader for indicator fishing a weighted #10 pats formula to try would be appreciated also.
