sealer Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Buck's graphite jig pole 12' long. how would this be as a fnf rod ? thanks, dennis Quote
KevO Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I think it would work just fine. I prefer a shorter rod myself, but i would think it would handle longer leaders better. Quote
frogflogger Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I was wondering if it would work as an entry level center pin rod. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 I was wondering if it would work as an entry level center pin rod. Probably not. Take a look at the Michigan Grip Convergence rods: http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/products/rods/salmon_steelhead/Convergence_Salmon_Steelhead_Michigan_Handle_Spinning.html. Can't go wrong for $80. I have the 10'er for small tribs. Quote
hitchhiker Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Not so great as a fnf rod either. My friend used one for a season. Way heavier than your typical fnf rods, and the construction of the tip section of the blank could not handle the load of the bobber and fly while making a long cast. His broke during a cast. I won't say it snapped, but unraveled, in a graphite spiral just above the ferrule. Silstar makes a Versitex? FNF rod that is pretty inexpensive ($40...?)and seems very popular around these parts.

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 If you already have this rod and want to know if it will work - Yes. Is it ideal for a dedicated purpose rod - No. Typical FnF rod is 8'-10' Light or ML with a mod or MF action. If you like BnM, they have FnF rod models. Quote
KevO Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 you can always get a Bass Pro micro lite F-n-F rod for about $40. Quote
