Thanks for the link!
BTW - I have an Albright extra large arbor 7/8 reel and so far I am very happy with it, considering I got it for under a hundred bucks at STP.

Hmm... I think I might pull the trigger on the 5 piece 6wt for traveling and backpacking. The 5 piece 5wt is sold out. That or maybe the 4 piece...
Hmmm........
Edit...
Trigger = pulled on the 5 piece 6wt. With shipping my total was 36 bucks.
Can't go wrong there.Last edited by 72Twenty; 10-07-2008 at 09:07 PM.

Very cool, friendly, and informative guy, even if he was pimping his own shit.

That never works, let me convince you that you do. Most fun fishing purchase I've made in 10 years. Originally Posted by khakis

Wow! Thanks for the heads up! I have been debating for years about whether or not to get a bigger 8/9 weight setup for my occasional foray into bigger waters. Just pulled the trigger for an 8/9 weight rod and an 8/9 weight reel for under $70 bucks. I have spent way more than that in rentals!

My 6wt arrived today, complete with a tube.
Excellent deal for $36. I am going to give it a try this weekend.
Thanks again, bio-smear!
edit: wow, I think everybody in this thread bought something from this sale. Maybe Albright will hook the maggots up again in the future...
