Fly Fishing Beginners
Beginner Topwater Fly Fisherman?
I have been fishing for over twenty years and now want to topwater fly fish in large ponds and small lakes in Mississippi for bass and bream. My question is would it be better to buy a pre-rigged topwater Albright combo from Bass Pro for $149.99 (http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=83668&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults)or buy an Eagle Claw Trailmaster for an eBay PowerSeller (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120244063026&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002) for $66.00 and rig it myself. I have never rigged a fly rod before but do understand that the line weight must match the reel. There are also several diagrams on the Net.
The Albright says that it’s pre-rigged with backing and line but I see nothing about a leader. What type of leader would I need?
The BassPro setup will take you through your first baby steps but if you are like me and nearly every fly fisher I know, you will eventually want to select components seperately. The reason you would do this is because you know exactly what kind of action you want, etc but at this point that is not an issue since you dont know what you want/need.
