    sealed drag problems

    Look at the Alan Tani website for general reel cleaning and lubing guidelines. A lot of good info there. I bought a jar of drag washer grease and a tube of blue Yamaha marine grease and that is what I use after cleaning with rubbing alcohol. Never had a problem.

    sealed drag problems

    What is so special about the fly reels that an average guy wouldn't be able to service/clean the drag? Hundreds of thousands of fisher folks have been cleaning their high end baitcasters and spinning reels for years and years. It's not exactly rocket science to properly align an O ring to seal...

    What would be a good bonefish setup?

    I've fished Belize with an 8wt. Next time I will be bringing my 6wt as well.

    Maybe a silly question, but is it okay to fertilize blueberry bushes with a neutral pH mix that has a small amount of lime (~3%) and then add a bit of sulfur on top to lower the pH?

    Giant Trevally Fly Line?

    Just a thought... I do have a few tarpon lines, which are designed for throwing baitfish patterns. What is so different about the GT specific lines over those tarpon lines? If it works for a 100 pound tarpon, would it not work for a 20-30 pound GT?

    Giant Trevally Fly Line?

    Wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for a GT fly line. Also, I am looking to gather as much information as I can about Kiritimati GT fishing. I assume a floating line is required, correct? Please share any experiences and suggestions you have. Thanks!

    Baby tarpon flies?

    All good points! Thank you! The hooks I use for the newly tied gurglers are Gamakatsu Iseama size 1/0 and size 2 for smaller fish. The points are tweaked to pass the nail test. Also added the doubled foam and a more pronounced bill. Again, thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated!

    Baby tarpon flies?

    I am just looking to have a decent chance to hook one. Never actually targeted a tarpon before. Sounds like I need to go tie a few gurglers! Thanks!

    Baby tarpon flies?

    So, if I am not mistaken the toad is the same type of fly as what I have in the picture, but with an addition of a wide head to create more wake?

    Baby tarpon flies?

    I was looking at various tarpon flies all over the web. There are so many variations and colors and patterns. A lot of really elaborate creations are out there. Does tarpon really care? It seems that those immature tarpons in 5 to 15# range will eat almost anything that imitates a bait fish of...

    Welded loop broke. Re-weld or snell knot?

    Apologies... this was not in the context of the original question. I was just reading the answers and thinking about my upcoming trip to Kiritimati.

    Welded loop broke. Re-weld or snell knot?

    Would a nail knot reliably work for Giant Trevallies? Allbright sounds like a better option.
