FS: Lots of Fly Fishing rods and reels

Winston Boron IIIX 10ft 4wt rod. This rod has been used about 5 times; 3-4 hours each outing. It does have the full wells grip and anodized reel seat. This is a fast action rod and the 10ft length makes for big, easy mends, great roll casting, and tight loops at distance. This rod excels at everything from delicate dry fly presentation, dry-dropper rigs, to Euro-nymphing.

The accuracy and craftsmanship is some of the best; it's a Winston of course.

This rod still has the warranty card so it has not yet been registered with Winston.
Comes with Rod, Rod Sock, Rod Tube, and Warranty Card. $420

One of Winston’s top of the line models this rod is fast action, has a full wells grip, nickel aluminum reel seat, and comes with rod sock and tube. This rod sells for $795 new in shops and online.

Hatch 4-plus Finatic reel with Orvis Hydros 3D wf4f fly line: $285
Hatch reels are machined out of a single block of aluminum so there are no screws between the reel seat and reel. This reel and line has been used about 15 times; both in excellent condition. Reel sells for $450 in shops and online. Orvis Hydros 3D line sold for $98 in shops.
Rod, Reel, Line combo price $675

Sage Approach 9ft 5-weight fly rods (new): $220 each
I have two of these rods for sale both are brand new and come with Sage Warranty cards and rod tube. These are medium-fast action fly rods and sell for $295 in stores and online.

Would you sell the Rio Gold line alone?

pm sent for second Sage

mmmm tempting, tell you what, why don't I just send you some money and you can just break the tips off and then throw them in the river for me, lets just cut out the middle man.

why do I always break my shit??

Ha ha, that was funny shit; pun intended there.

Both Sage Approach rods are sold now.

Just an addition: If you are breaking your tips a lot, there could be a few things going on. First it could be the rod, there were a lot of rods from about 6-10 years ago that were notorious for having weak tips. Second, it could be from flies hitting your tips or flies and tippet wrapping around the tips. After so many times of this, a tip will start to loose its structural integrity. This usually happens when you don't wait long enough in your backcast for the line to unroll. If you start your forward cast too soon, the tippet and flies will often hit the tip of the rod or wrap around the tip of the rod causing this weakness to occur. Another less common but equally detrimental flies hitting tip of rod scenario is your loop is too tight. To remedy this you simply need to open your loop.

Ok, I have the Winston BIIIX 10ft 4wt left and will sell for $385

And, the Sage 6012 NIB reel and extra spool for $425

I don't think you understand what a pun is.

As far as your advice, that too has a stink of pretentiousness. I was just thinking I could bump your post.

Perhaps your advise should have read; stop stepping on your shit on boats, stop closing the truck door on your shit, stop loosing shit off boats, etc,etc.

Is the big #4 still available? Thanks.
