Default Mostly ST Croix Rods and Lews reels

Most of them St Croix tournament fitted with Lews reels. That's for Bass.

For Alberta walleye Bass Rods by Fenwick with Shimano reels.

All bait cast reels.

It depends on how you go about it, I have 4 kids and a grumpy wife, so play money is tight. Just do side jobs, save, trade and squander, lol.

Started fly fishing midway through the summer of '14. So far, I have:

2wt Cabela's CGR, Redington Zero 2.3 & Okuma SLV 2 3 (which I think I am going to start using for ice fishing now that I have the Zero)
4wt Winston BIIIX, Lamson Konic I 1.5
5wt Orvis TLS, Lamson Konic I 2
6wt Orvis Access, Lamson Konic II 2
6wt White River High Liner
8wt TFO BVK, Okuma 7/8

I need to stop for a while, as other priorities have taken over the expendable cash dept (mainly finishing our basement and putting in a home theatre). Have bought three of the rods new, and three used, and fished the most last season with the used ones.

My reels are loop opti speed runner and opti dryfly, loop clear reel, and an Amundson wind warrior Spey.

Let's hear what you guys have

How do you like the loop xact? Thinking of checking out a 6wt for streamers.

They just discontinued this series of rods and replaced it with the "Q". But if you can find a 6wt xact (which you most likely can!) Id say it's a great entry level rod and mine has literally seen its way around the world with me (I've used it from USA to India). It's a bit slower action so maybe a 7wt in the xact would be better for streamers. Having said that I've thrown dungeons with the 5wt, and even though it was a little awkward, it did work.

I'd feel out gunned with a 3wt on those rivers. I've caught enough large fish on them that my 5 or 6 weight works hard to get them in ethically.
