Rimfly's for the cane

[Tonytoned]

Hello Everyone

After a few years break from fly fishing I suddenly felt the urge to rekindle my interest again. So I'm in the process of refurbing a pair of cane fly rods, both are 2 piece - 9ft long.
To go with them a pair of recently purchased Intrepid Rimfly fly reels.


The rods are as follows J.B. Walker (Newcastle) top and a C.W. Bird of Studley rod (bottom)
The Rimfly's are a Lightweight and a Regular.

Thanks for reading

Nice. How well do the reels balance out the rods?

Thank you Santiago. Will have to let you know, haven't tried them with the tip sections on yet. I will try them when I get home from work today and let you know.

Thank you Penninelad. That's good to know. I've just got to figure out what weight fly line to use.

Hello Santiago. I essembled both rods complete with the reels and they balance up quiet nicely.

Tony, those are beautiful rods and reels. It's been a few days now and I was wondering if you found the correct weight line and if you have fished with the rods yet?
