I watched your video when you first used the sage LL fishing the sherry spinner. It's a beautiful video and I'm glad to see that you are enjoying the LL so much. I use the Scott G Series 7'7" 3 wt and have similar feelings. When I'm using that rod on small streams it makes me wonder why I ever do any other type of fishing. Cheers.

It's a beautiful way to catch fish, light rods and light lines, superb.

I have three fly-rods in 3 sizes George, great video mate and greetings from NZ, Tony.

[@springerspanielful]

Cool, thanks

[@TMFShooting]

I used to love going Fishing , Another Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you enjoyed

[@colmogaora6055]

If you get even a little pleasure out of every rod in a collection then it's worth having.

[@springerspanielful]

Absolutely Colm..

[@user-bl2ne7tl7h]

Do you ever fish with bamboo rods. I've starting fishing some Goodwin Granger rods I'v refurbished and love them. Probably won't go back to graphite. Love the way they cast especially dry flies.

[@springerspanielful]

Nice alright, but very easy break.

[@user-it4du4zv9g]

Great chat mate …Rod talk is good talk 👍

[@springerspanielful]

It sure is

[@Davecarroll211]

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks for the visit

[@derek38fishing]

I've built up a bit of a collection myself, like most anglers! My most used rod is a 6ft 2wt that I use on some of the tributaries of the River Barrow. I'd love to see a video on reels. Many thanks, looking forward to more videos this year.

[@springerspanielful]

6ft 2wt I like the sound of that..

[@noelc-vt9dq]

5wt 12 foot greys incredible. Great stuff love watching your veheos

[@hopper1aoa15]

It does depends on a few things like bloody weather,,we've been open since the 15th of Feb on the Bandon and I still haven't ventured out....the weather is a mess....good to see you back with fishing vids.....unfortunately I don't hunt....

[@springerspanielful]

Softer days are ahead...

[@Tomas.O.Sullivan]

loved the video very interesting stuff , i haven't fished on a river or lake as of yet and already i have 3 rods two mainly for lake fishing including a guideline elevation 9 foot 9 7 wt and its super light . and i thinking of buying one more as one of the rods i bought realized its a bit light for dry fly on a stocked lake . but great video very interesting stuff .would love too see your reels too . thanks George

[@springerspanielful]

Many thanks Tomas..

[@AyrshireAlps]

Good stuff George. I bought that same Cadence rod recently, had a PB Grayling on its maiden voyage, and had another PB since, can't wait to fish the wets with it come the 15th March though, tight lines for 2024 sir.

[@springerspanielful]

Good stuff, I'll let you know how it performs over here soon as the season gets going, please keep me updated too.

[@AyrshireAlps]

​@springerspanielful Will do George. I'll hopefully make it over for a cast on the Suir with it at some point!.

[@mylesreilly5912]

Them Suir trout are fairly cute, yid want to be changing rods regular, if i were you id get that new rod fast 😂

[@springerspanielful]

I knew that, working on it at the moment Myles..

[@jim22222]

A#3 for small rivers, a #4 for larger rivers, a #5 for weighted nymphs, #6 for the lakes, #7 for seatrout, #8 for Bonefish and Bass and finally a #10 for pike.

[@springerspanielful]

Sounds good..

[@timmyjones9899]

I've bought so many rods over the year, mainly impulse buying. About 10 years ago, i got rid of them all and built myself a Winston boron lll LS 9 5 weight. I've used this rod for everything. From throwing 22 dries to chucking 3 wets in a wave on the corrib. IMO, you can get away with a 9 5 weight for 95% of situations. You're got me thinking, though, it might be due and upgrade.

[@springerspanielful]

Almost any rod can be used for almost any purpose, with rara exceptions.

[@Tjk186]

How many fly rods do you need darling? asks my wife...'just one more dear' seems to work 😄

[@springerspanielful]

Good one!

[@OsKSounds]

Looking to get into some fly fishing never done it before could you recommend a set up?

[@springerspanielful]

Call to any tackle shop and ask for a five weight kit, it will cover most circumstances.

[@hopper1aoa15]

What do you use for salmon.

[@springerspanielful]

When I fished for salmon I used a Daiwa 13ft .

[@davidjackson-xg8hq]

Hi George, what model Sage ? You didn't mention it in the video

[@troutbhoy1]

It’s a Sage Light Line 7.9ft 3 weight, as George says it’s a beautiful dry fly rod I have it myself & the 8.9ft 3 weight Sage LL

[@springerspanielful]

Sage Light Line 7.9ft 3 weigh

[@josiahmcmurray4901]

We’re or who could u buy a good red setter pup off

[@springerspanielful]

There are only a handful of people breeding proper working res setters, I suggest you attend a trial and talk to the red setter owners that attend.
