st croix 5wt fly rods St. Evos Rod – Dakota Angler & Outfitter St. Croix Fly Fishing Rod

These fantastic looking front drag reels do what they are supposed to do and will keep doing so for a long, long time, as always with any DAM Quick reels

Another topwater that can reach heavy cover and be fished suitably slowly is a frog, and the SPRO Bronzeye leads the way in this case

Keep in mind, these are my suggestions, and some may like a different set-up, but these will definitely get you in the ballpark of what you need

Strong and powerful enough to make fishing heavy lures and fighting large fish easier, yet smooth enough to offer precision when required, the Stradic is a pleasure to use and will enhance your fishing experience in all freshwater and in-shore saltwater situations
