fly gear recommendations
Looking into a fly rod in #9wt for salmon/steelhead but don't wanna break the bank. Any suggestions? I've heard ugly stiks are OK but heavy. Probably WO t get tons of use for obvious reasons.

Re: fly gear recommendations
DESCRIPTION
3⅝ oz. 9', 4-piece, Fly Rod for 9-wt. line. Wade into the surf, dodge the incoming breakers, and launch baitfish patterns into the foam with the Clearwater 909-4, the perfect rod for mid-sized saltwater and large freshwater species. Strong enough to stand up to even the roughest conditions and toughest fish, but light enough to cast all day, it's perfect for when you need to punch flies into the wind and turn over bulky flies, all without wearing out your arm. Swirling stripers and shimmering steelhead don't stand a chance against its power, smooth action, and fish-turning ability. Saltwater reel seat with cork-and-EVA foam fighting butt. Orvis Clear water 909-4 Leif

Re: fly gear recommendations
Just looked it up. I think you nailed it. Now where can I get my hands on one, and whats the price? I saw a lil bit of price difference from site to site.

Re: fly gear recommendations
Ok... The rod with case goes for $225. The outfit is $315 to $335. $315 is the cheapest I have seen it on eBay without shipping. The outfit comes with rod, case, reel, line and backing. Orvis will honor the warranty regardless of where you buy it. Get yourself an orvis 9 wt shooting head system and you are ready for anything... Any questions feel free to ask . Glad to help.

Re: fly gear recommendations
Thanks for the help. At $315 that's a lil bit on the high side for me but not out of the question considering its also good in salt. Not sure if I'll even enjoy it so I wanna stay modest. Any other suggestions? I heard albright rods were pretty good. How's okuma? I love their spinning n casting rods and reels.
