Hi folks,
I had a chance to fish with a guide provided “red-truck” fly rod and reel combination the other day on the American for stripers and really liked the feel of it. It was a 10 foot 7 weight with a 26 foot sink tip line and we were tossing and stripping in Clousers. Here is a link to a web site I found that carries the “red truck” rods and reels.

This web site contained some nice positive video’s reviewing and describing this and some other red-truck rods and combinations as well. This particular combination I fished with was touted as an outstanding nymphing outfit and I can imagine it would be. It worked well for me casting our clouser streamers as well. Until this opportunity to use this outfit I had never even heard of Red-Truck fly rods and figure they must be relatively new.
Does anybody out there own one of these rods an/or have anything to share with me about the rods? Right now I am about ready to put in an order for this outfit and add to my collection.
Thanks for any feedback.
Bill

By the way the striper fishing was pretty slow, two of us hooked about a half dozen small fish floating from Grist Mill to Howe Avenue, half day, still nice to get out on the water
