HBD Craig! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/happy110.gif Like to fullfill your birthday wish, but i'm stuck working. Wish they would do some of these on the weekends. Always wanted to do the electro gig. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/shocked003.gif briansII

I humbly submit this.



If size...or lack thereof, is the sole requirement, then my submission is not in the running. Add color to the equation, then maybe?

HBD Richard!

Dang. I could hear the audio, but no video.

I've cast 2 Dan Craft Sig III rods. One a 5wt and the other a 3wt? Both were nice casting rods, but nothing special. About a year later, I cast his new FT Lights. These are 5-6 piece rods, and I thought a step up from the Sig IIIs. Both are progessive/moderate action rods. IMO, both would be good fo...

I flip flop back and forth. No need for fluoro for my creek fishin'. Use fluoro for streamers, and most of the time for nymphing. If i'm fishing picky sippers, i'll go to 6x mono. I like a softer tippet, more than an invisible one. For heavy stuff like bass, I use 100% fluoro, for the abrasion resis...

Hey Eric!

Spoilsport. But I tend to agree. IF I spent that kind of $ on a clicker, it would probably be on a old Hardy.

Sage updated their reels. Here's the new Click reel for the 0-000wt rods.

Nice, no.

Also noticed most of the spare spools on the new reels are more reasonably priced.

.........and for you really lazy, all thumbs, cheap fishers like me. Twisted leaders..... http://castflys.net/Documents/Twisted.pdf Out of curiosity, i've made these, but have never fished with them. VERY simple to make, but I cannot tell you they are any better or worse than furled leaders. I have ...

Nice Brian. Look's like a great place to me. Would love to hit that pond sometime. :D Darrin, It's above Auberry, a short hike from my inlaw's place. 4 ponds, and lots of blugill. Water levels are way down this year, but i'm sure the fishing is still very good. My little one nabbed this out of the ...

As far off as that sounds, I thought the same thing. I've had two friends with that problem.

From reading the description of the line, and your comments about head length, it sounds like it should turnover really well. Shorter, heavier/fat head should load quickly, and have a positive turnover....like a bass taper would. I just wonder if the braided leader, in combination with the new line,...

It was a lengthy battle. I thought I would have to break that mollusk off. Ultralights need not apply.
