About Me

  • About Rip Tide
    Biography
    I've resisted saying this.. it doesn't put me in a good light .....
    But I'm a trout bum.
    Decades of my life were spent fishing that should have been "earning". I've had what many might think was a miss-spent adulthood.

    I've invested pretty well and although I live under what is considered the poverty level, I do okay.

    I think that finding a like-minded fishing partner might be as difficult as choosing the proper life partner. Beside my dad, over the years I've had 3 good fishing partners. One rarely fishes...

    With a light trout reel, you're not looking for a drag that will stop a truck. You only need to set the drag strong enough to prevent backlash. What's important is that the reel "starts up" smoothly...

    Don't wrap those guides in too tight After you get them all on you're going to have to make sure that they're all lined up straight. For that you're going to need a little wiggle room.

    When I fish saltwater poppers I either use 6' of straight 16-20# test mono or an 8' leader of 60" 40# mono, 20" 25# mono, and 20" of 16# mono (60/20/20%) (... the straight 6' leader is far easier....
