Looking to do some shad fishing this year with my 5wt, i know its lil light but going to try, also explore more still waters, So a sink tip line is going to be needed but i still like to float some dries on the rivers. Would you suggest getting another reel and gearing it up for sink tip or just retying the line on to existing real every time i switch in between?

One question ....why is a sinking tip line required? I fish shad on a floating line and hook all the fish that I want ......If your looking for good reels at a very reasonable price check out my supplier at Allen's I fish thier reels on my salmon/striper fly rods and their warranty is unconditional lifetime bullet proof

weighted flies are hard to cast you have to open up your casting loop quite a bit...I use dumbell eyes on my shad flies and yes they can harm a rod in a hurry....lol..you just have to be careful ......you don't have to drag the bottom to hook shad I just lost a post with a bunch of pics from NB salmon fishing...good thing as you would have run right out and bought a rod/reel/line...lol....too bad salmon fishing here in NS is almost done for...it was great here growing up we had 130 salmon rivers at one time
