Really liking this combo... aka micro fly rod that uses Redington's Practice Fly Rod and the Rio Fly Line that comes with it.

Added a diy leader made with the following recipe... 8" of 50lbs mono, 18" of 14lbs mono, and 18" of 4lbs mono.

Leader casts a tandem rigged Foam Spider and Scud with ease. Fly rod is about 4ft in length.

Casting a Micro Fly Rod Demo #microflyrod #microflyfishing

Here is the follow up video we mentioned on one of our earlier iFishNews Fishing Podcast and YouTube video about Micro Fly Rods.

This video shows five micro flyrods - three are ones we made and have a micro flyreel mounted on them, and two are practice fly rods from Redington and Orvis with a flyreel zip tied to the handle.

We marked 25 feet as a reference, and then cast the rods to show the 25 feet distance is readily attained.

There was a strong crosswind and one of the rods had less than 25 feet of line but overall all rods could easily cast 25 feet.

That said, based on time fishing with them, there are several that can cast well past 25 feet.

Fun stuff...

Micro Fly Rod Fishing | Two Piece Micro Fly Rod Quick Trip

Was out this morning and had saw a chance to fish the feeder creek at the local pond. Good thing I keep the Micro Fly Rod handy... this one is the two piece micro fly rod made from a broken 8wt fly rod.

Saw a nice bass in the culvert that runs from the feeder creek to the pond. Also, saw several smaller bass but none wanted to bite. Did lose a couple of Bluegill and land one Bluegill that went for the Guadalupana.

Did call it quits... too cold, but just in time to miss the snow that came in shortly after!
