Re: Evolution or Revolution Regarding Fishing Vests

I always seem to go back to a vest as well. The only time I go minimalist is when I'm fishing small spring creeks this is when I use a waist pack and lanyard. A vest just stands the test of time for...

Re: Lake Run Brown Trout Highlights from 2012 HD Video

Re: Lake Run Brown Trout Highlights from 2012 HD Video

I would have to think with the size of these browns they had to be played awhile to net them which causes lactic acid to build up in their muscles resulting in decreased chance of survival. Its safer...

Re: Lamson 1.5 vs 2

Re: Another request for reel advice

Thats a good deal on the spoke..S4? I think you will find that it will balance nicely on that A3. I believe they have the same drag as the torque. Which line do you have for it?

Re: what line for a GLX Whispercreek 3wt

Re: Two questions from a newbie

It would be tough to stay under $500 with that rod and a Torque or FWX unless you found a screaming deal or bought used. Don't know the type of waters where you'll be fishing so hard to give advice...
