1. Yes they are fly rods. I hope no self-respecting Bronco enthusiast would be caught using a baitcaster. How barbaric! I will eventually purchase a trextle fly rod carrier when I purchase a roof rack, after I purchase a hardtop…so down the line a bit.
I really like that setup. Perfect so for camping, especially a spur of the moment thing. I hear you on the fly rods. Ive got way too many myself. To celebrate my Bronco order I had a 3wt bamboo rod built to take on my adventures so something like you built is perfect since a rod should be in the truck at all times!
Thank you so much! I don’t have bamboo rod money yet, but I want to learn to make them. Also, 3 weight is my favorite bc you can throw it on the smallest of creeks or fish it in wider waters and it makes a 14” feel like a 24”. But the whole goal of this rig (which is far from complete) is to be able, at a moment’s notice, drive to camp close to where I want to fish and be up and ready early in the morning. I’m in the Army, moving to Fort Campbell, KY this summer. I’m a major so that means I’ll be working 70+ hour weeks (not a joke)…so when I get the chance to fish, I’m going to seize it!
As a blue water SoCal angler with a quiver of conventional gear, I feel attacked.
Well, I say it in a somewhat joking manner…but also, deep water fishing is a different game all itself.
At least we aren't using spinning gear!
