Northwest Fishing Reports

anyone been there? are their prices any better there?

Headed south for work and thought i would check it out. wanted to see if anyone else has picked anything up there or if its kinda like the other outlets, just leftover stuff no one wants.

Last time I was there they were having a warehouse sale and I picked up a couple of classic glass downrigger rods. You may be able to score on a returned rod or a discontinued model, it never hurts to look around. If you are into building your own rods, be sure to check out the blanks and other materials.

never built a rod and wouldnt even know where to start. fishing a fenwick HMX right now and was considering upgrading to a st croix avid. thought if i was in the area i would swing in.

what should i look for that would be comparable to a st croix avid in both price and performance?

Fenwick HMX was my first rod i bought over here, really liked it, ended up giving it to a buddy of mine. As for Lemiglas ive a Northwest special which has taken some abuse, a mag tapper and a classic glass i use in the sound and fishing for macks love them all.

I have a hmx medium fast 9' rod. My buddy has a 9'6" avid series that I really like. I am torn between getting a 9'6" or jump to a 10'6". I river fish almost exclusively and spend most of my time on the sky, cow, puke, Wallace, and sno.

Check the factory 2nds really close they do not have a warranty.

Might be a silly question but where is this magical sounding place?

when returning from Merwin Reservoir to get on I-5 north, it's on the footage road on your right just before you get on the freeway.

take exit 21. their address is on their website as well.

got a xmg50 for 1/2 price. tried it out today and nicest rod i have ever fished with. money well spent.

Thanks guys! Next time I head south this will be a must do.
