atomichaggis Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've been thinking about a new fly rod for a while as the current setup thoroughly sucks. I don't really want to spend a fortune as flyfishing is My 3rd choice tactics but I would like a capable rod for sea fishing in summer. I saw some vision rods on www.baardsen.no and wondered if anyone has any experience of these rods particularly http://baardsen.no/catalog/product_info.ph...e14e38671588566 or similar??? perhaps even a travel rod as i fly a bit.

atomichaggis Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 umm...guess not? any thoughts on guideline procast rods? Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford prefect Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) The Vision rod is a top seller. I've only tried a double-handed 3Zone and it was a pleasant rod. You'll probably be able to talk the prize down at Baardsen on this rod. Seek out Frode at Baardsen and say you'll take it right away for 700kr An alternative might be the 9' #8 Redington Redfly at Nfisk.no. I've got the 13' #8 and it's great. Redfly Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I spoke to Frode yesterday when I went in for some stuff. He said the vision was outselling the guideline procast in places. He also said the guideline reps are coming to town with a pile of rods reels n lines to be tested so you can have a proper feel first... that might be worth waiting for. I'm still undecided, i liked the look n feel of the guideline procast rods a tiny bit better... but thats without a line on. I'll need to read up on redington redfly rods. thanks again, Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
