Hiked in with the Fly Atom to one of my Honey Holes
Few shots rigged up with a bandaid on the reel foot to keep the Daiwa 730 snugged
I’ve loaded this reel up with some Vintage
SA Concept WF5 .
Here’s some of my favorite lines to use on Banty rods .. Short Head Rocket/Torpedo taper with a few DT’s thrown in .
Gonna hit em with the Madam X yellow jacket
Hooked up …
Whippersnappers all over my Madam X
Here’s one that got nipped on the tail …
Managed a few nicer ones like this one
After a few dozen fish on the Madam X I Switched up to a crystal bugger and was still slaying em until I had to go home and make dinner ..
The day is not complete until I get my streamer fix on
Let them go so they can grow…
I’m happy to report that even with rusty&bent a$$ guides , beat cork , and a band aided reel foot the fly atom proved itself to be a fully serviceable Banty Rod for small creek fishing
It’s much better on the water than in the backyard…
Barry ,
The Fly Atom is exactly the same size as your A&F Banty .. 4ft - 4inches.
Here they are side by side .
Tight lines in 23
