Re: Feathers vs Soft Plastic

1980 81 and you were already an accomplished fly fisherman, while there I was being told that fish come from the sea.

Re: Hang marker

That's a grand idea, I'll see if I can use some sewing materials and nail knots to make my own "hang marker".
I won't use shrink tube since I am technically incline and it might ruin the whole line.

Re: Hang marker

Sorry for not being clear. I borrowed the Hang Marker term from Rio Intouch line, I thought it was a standard term. The "hang marker" is like an indicator on your line so you know when you should...

Re: I'm so tired of getting ripped off!

Increasing the import tariffs will make the Walmartians out of beer and undies. You don't want that to happen.

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

I wonder what they will say about Allen rods, if they were in it. I am glad Allen was not in it. Customers' reviews and listening to them are the right way to develop your products more.

Re: Economical Premium Reel Advice

I had the clearwater II then swapped it with the Access IV. Nothing wrong with that reel, but the drag isnt fully sealed. I am the kind of person who wants versatility in my gears. So in this case i...

Re: Economical Premium Reel Advice

If I were you, I will get the 6wt. All my reels are over sized for the reason that I can always spool them with heavier lines for future use.
For under $200 it is very hard to beat the US made Guru.

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

I agree with Monseur on his opinion about the Helios and Zenith. Prior to purchasing my Zeniths, I tested the Helios as well and shorter distance the Helios have more control. But I choose Zenith...

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

Re: Orvis Clearwater?

Great choice. but I suggest you to buy the III.

I bought the Access IV (7-9wt) for my 5wt so I can also use the reel for my 7 and 8 wt and probably for my future 9wt. just my 2 cents.
