The Odyssey; Like a Monet with Mussels on your reel seat.
I live in Alaska and fish for Salmon in our rivers. As anyone who has fished for bright sea run Kings already knows, backing and drag are two huge aspects of your reel. If you are trying to sort out a truly great reel for Salmon, read on.........

Sage TXL 00wt
The 00wt TXL is a great ultralight rod because it pushes the limits of quiet presentation, is able to cast 35 feet with very little effort, makes catching smaller fish such as bluegill more fun, and has enough backbone to leverage larger fish.
The 00wt TXL rod is physically lightweight. After...

Lamson Konic Reel
I just purchased the Lamson Konic 2 reel. The first impression was that of the reels finish. It looks like bead blasted stainless steel although It isn't.
I decided to compar it directly against the Lamson Litespeed to determine if they maintained their quality and here is what I saw.
The finish...

Orvis Helios
The light weight and delicate feel of this rod is in stark contrast to the swift power this rod generates to buck the sometimes windy conditions that surround big water trout fishing. The rod I have is a mid flex 8'6" 5 weight that feels like something less in my hand, yet casts like something...

Drift Creek Outdoors Tundra Tech Guide Jacket
Waterproof/breathable and affordable
This small company really hit a home run with this jacket and pants combination. I saw this stuff everywhere on a recent trip to Alaska. Alaska is the true test of how good a jacket is.

William Joseph Mini II Pack
Seeing as one of these is being given away on this forum, I thought I would provide a review.
Overall, I am pretty happy with it. Prior to this pack I had a columbia vest, and then a patagonia 'brick' chest pack, (which I still use as a fanny pack to hold extra gear if I need it).
