As a matter of fact I have a few rods, reels and a bunch of fly lines all good but cheap depends on your definition of what cheap is, is.

I need a 12 weight, might settle for an 11 if it is fast, really fast.

No 12 weight here but am half-assedly looking for one myself.
Title: But wait, there's more!!!
Post by: Peddler on February 02, 2017, 10:15:46 AM
Chuck 'n duck pliers with lead. Needle nose stainless. Has crimper for crimping lead, punch to punch hole for attaching, cutter and holster. Neat tool for quickly adjusting depth rates and getting down quick into short, deep holes. It's a great tool for the job. I understand these are kind of rare.
$50.00 plus shipping if lead comes with it.

WAY early Ross Reel. Ross R made in Etna California. One of their very earliest attempts at reel making. The machining and precision of these reel is beyond good. They learned a few things when making this. Things like adding a counter balance and making sure the drag works in one direction only. It's usable for sure but more a collectors item is my take on it.
$300.00 shipped OBO. PayPal preferred.

Fine fly rods:
Your chance to own some of the finest fly rods for pretty cheap. Fly fish is what I did when I lived in Michigan because my job allowed it and it kept me out of trouble, mostly.
I figured I would keep the U.S. economy going in my small way while buying the stuff that fit me perfectly and would take me into retirement locked and loaded. Nature had other plans and took away my balance enough to make wading near impossible and not so much fun. I'm dumping the stuff I won't be using again and selling at I hope is a price we both smile about so make a reasonable offer on this stuff or it's off to Ebay.

Winston BIImX. 9', 4 Piece 5 Weight. Winston's hot rod rod playing off of their popular BIIx series. I bit stiffer with a fighting butt. Soft enough to land big fish on light tippets but with enough starch down low to throw 100' and land bigger fish quickly. Darn good looking to boot. Complete with Winston rod sock and tube. Really, rarely used as my regular BIIx 5 wt. is what I use most.
$350.00 shipped OBO. PayPal preferred.

Winston BIIt. 8', 4 piece 3 weight. Never used.
$350.00 shipped OBO. PayPal preferred

Orvis One Ounce. 6'6", 2 Piece 2 weight. With original sock and tube. 'Gills are a hoot on this thing.
$275shipped OBO. PayPal preferred



Orvis CFO 123 reel and spools. Click 'n pawl. Made in England. One complete reel and two spare spools. Lines and storage cases or bags included. No charge for the good mojo on this stuff.
Best reasonable offer on them and the Hardy below.
Hardy. L.R.H. Lightweight. Another click 'n pawl. Includes new Rio Premium line. Original Hardy zippered case included, I'm just too  lazy to get it for photo.

They are 3 and 5 weights listed above. Regardless, I'm wheeling and dealing cause this stuff isn't doing me a lick of good sitting around collecting dust.

Broken raft? Tell me more.
That Hardy I just posted would fill the bill nicely on a 5 weight.

What would you like to know about the One Ounce? I'm the only owner, bought it direct from an Orvis store. It comes with the stock rod tube and liner that came with the rod. I can post pics if need be.

I've never fished a winston. But i have heard they are wet noodles. I have generally stayed away from them because I like a faster rod. How would you rate the action of that 3wt?

Will that 3wt turn a 16 inch cutty in a 8ft wide stream?

It's a frameless, two man 'toon.  It's kind of impractical but it's a pretty cool boat.  It doesn't have oar locks, rather has "patches" that were glued down and, guess what, the glue came up.  So now I need to repair the oar "locks".  I was kind of joking about trading it but hey if you're game so am I. 

On a serious note, how easy of a repair is that?  Wish they would've just sewed them down but hey.

And fret not, I'll buy that rod and reel set up in like 6 months.

I've had a few one man pontoons and each had stuff glued to them. Here's a link to a company that knows how to make and repair inflatables and what they use.

driver... Winstons can be considered softer rods but that depends on the model and the line used. They are true-to line weight so a line that is heavier than rated (like Rio Grand and SA GPX) will soften and deaden the action. That said their BIIt series is their whimbly series and might not be the rod for you. The thing with Winston's that some can't get used to is letting the rod do the work instead of horsing it on every cast. Sage is now making Winstonesque rods that have the range to fish well close in or at distance. I've landed some real toads with my Winston's on 6 &7X tippet because the tips are forgiving and allow nice short casts with the mid and butt sections taking over for long casts and putting the brakes on hot fish.

Look at the blog here by Bucky. http://www.blue-ribbon-flies.com/blog/ (http://www.blue-ribbon-flies.com/blog/). In it he answers your three weight question nicely I think.
