Many thanks for the tippet ring suggestion. I’ve long preferred knotless tapered leaders and get extended service from them by adding tippet sections as needed. That of course adds a salad snagging knot. Any suggestions on tippet ring brands/sizes for saltwater use around here?

Magazines don’t qualify for media mail rates. I doubt you’ll find anything cheaper than the usps flat rate boxes if you’re dealing with a quantity of magazines.

Sage SP 590-2. And it’s also is the rod I’d take on on a trip if I could only take one.

Showing on fox 13 too

Hope these draw some fishy attention in October.

Catch of the day.

jasmillo - thanks for the input, and for the offer (respectfully declined). I think your comment about tying imperfections is spot on. I expect it's 50/50 whether any imbalance from the eye offset is mitigated or aggravated by the many imperfections of my ties. Bambooflyguy - thanks, that is...

I may (or may not) be headed to Anna Maria Island around Christmas time on a family trip. I’d appreciate any input any of you might have on whether there are salt fly fishing opportunities in the area at that time of year, and if so details, resources, guides, etc. Thanks for any help you may...
