bamboo fly rod and reel Gallatin 7'6" 4-wt Medium | Payne 100 Taper Favorite The Masters Collection of custom bamboo fly rods includes the following 8wt | 9ft 4in |

The current generation Aetos has gone back to the blue blank but fishes much more like the second generation in terms of blank action

This is accomplished by using the downrigger wire as part of the electric control circuit

For the actual bait and hook, they use a separate rod and reel with either a lure or a dead flying fish, rigged with skewers to spread the wings to make it appear to be jumping on the surface

First and foremost, surface activity caused by breaking fish and bait is your primary indication to use a topwater plug

But $400 is a bit steep, and Im really only pointing this out because Im sad not everyone will have the chance to fish one of these incredible reels
