king salmon fly pole

Any recommendations? What weight should it be? 8? 9? 10?

The ones that have my attention are the orvis t3, reddinton wayfarer, scott supR-lys3 route 37 nooksack, and the rogue flyrod

I was surprised to see the tfo did so badly in flyfisherman magazines test

I love these magazine tests............basically meaningless. If I am interested in a rod, I cast it to determine if it is any good for me. You should do the same.

For a King Salmon fly rod I would say that most use a #9 or #10 line fly rod.

Many are caught on 8 weight because that is what they have.

I have sold 12 weights to people that lived in Anchorage, AK, because they got tired of fighting them on their 10 weight?

9' is a standard length for Kings. I am a 2 or 3 piece kind of guy for
Kings, but I guess 4 pc is OK for the travel benefits?

Be sure the ferrules are together tight and check them every half hour of casting.

PS: I have not heard of some of these rods? Orvis, Scott and Redington(Sage)
will be there for you if they break.

Can you tell me what you think of the adg titanium (www.adgfish.com)?
Supposedly it is like the orvis t3 except better. It retails for $900 but my friend owns a fly shop and he sells to me at cost. He has a adg titan 7/8 weight that he will sell me for $334

No, more ofen having to do with Z-transfoms. http://cnx.rice.edu/content/m10556/latest/ has a reasonable starting point.

It's like a steeple cast, only different. Well, sorta.

I thought poles were something power lines were strung on...
