    What's in your vise?

    I too am sorry to hear this, Norm. I'm going to miss viewing your always well-presented traditional flies. I've always been awed with your finished heads, in terms of size and glossiness. Good luck to you and thanks for your contributions to this site.

    Reel Seat Parts Source?

    I recently had the threaded main body of my Winston LTX reel seat separate from the insert while fighting a fish. I was able to save the body, reel and fish, but lost the reel foot ring (hood?) in the process. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a source to purchase the hood only, or do I have...

    A hoody that will elevate your next adventure

    Not another cheap hoody thread! Sorry, but I can't understand why anyone would want to take the most important link between an angler and the sun and not ensure that the link between the two is as good as possible. Sorry, couldn't resist, marketing be dam.

    Favorite affordable hook brand/series?

    The gentleman asked about affordable hooks. In my mind and experience, affordable hooks do not necessarily mean cheap hooks. The Fly Shop has been selling their affordable hooks for many years. I'm sure that would not be the case if they were cheap hooks. Now, affordable tippet material is a...

    Bring Back the Hook Keeper!

    My Titan Rod Vault (now Thule Rod Vault) doesn't like hook keepers either. The hook keepers on all my rods are on the underside in line with the reel seat. As designed while stored in the rod vault, the weight of the rod and reel is carried by the hook keeper, until it fails. My solution has...
