I have the Mirage 2 on my 9’ 5 wt. absolutely perfect pairing.

[@TheFlyfisherAustralia]

The size 2 is perfect. Andrew has the Ross Evolution R in the video. It’s an equally nice reel to the Mirage LT but it’s the Lamson Litespeed F he has on his shopping list 😬

[@Dandallasfishing]

What reel did you marry that with? I have a new F 5 wt and put it w a Mirage 2. Is the 3 a better choice?
Thx

Ok, I took my Helios D to the Salmon River in NY for Salmon and Steelhead. My rod is a 9 weight. You can't load a lot of lead that you need for Salmon. This rod is just not able to handle a lot of lead on the leader for nymphing. Take 2/3 of the lead off for steelhead, and the rod performs much better. This is not the right rod for nymphing for salmon running up river to spawn.

Ok, that blank is as ugly AF. For another 150$, you can buy a G. Loomis Asquith which is drop dead gorgeous. I own the Loomis.
