Cabelas LST Series Fly Rods

	What's With All That Action? You hear it everywhere...fly rod action. For detailed info, read the Fly Rod Guide. But, in a nutshell, fly rod action refers to how flexible the fly rod is. Faster action = stiffer fly rod. Slow action = flexible fly rod.
	What "Action" Should I Get? Depends on what you fish for and your skill level. New and intermediate anglers generally should use a mid-flex (mid-action) fly rod. Faster action fly rod (stiffer) are best for making long-casts and windy conditions. Slow action fly rods (more flexible), are best for short-casts and spring-creek type condtions.
	Get the Right Fly Rod Weight! Fly rods come in all sorts of line weights. For trout fishing, a fly rod weight of between 3-6 is generally used.
	Match Fly Rod Weight with your fly reel and fly line. For best fishing, the weight of your fly rod should match the weight of your fly reel and fly line. Thus, if you have a four-weight fly rod, use a four-weight fly reel and a four-weight fly line.
	What Length Should I Get? For general all-around fishing, a rod that is eight to nine feet is the most popular.
	Travel Frequently? If so, keep an eye on how many pieces the fly rod breaks into. Once upon a time, two-piece rods were standard. Today, four-piece rods are probably the most common rods around...allowing them to pack easily. For frequent fliers (who take their rods as carry-on's), you can also get seven-piece fly rods.
