    Can I just add a new coat of epoxy to old thread wraps?

    Thanks everyone. I will ponder a bit, but am leaning toward fishing it this summer (if I ever get out) and rewrapping next winter. I will report with before and after pics if I recoat. Mike

    Can I just add a new coat of epoxy to old thread wraps?

    Yeah I certainly don't want the football look due to epoxy buildup, but on most of the wraps the thread grooves are visible where the epoxy fully soaked into the thread. It is just hard to see that detail in the pictures. That buildup is one reason why I would potentially choose to cut off...

    Can I just add a new coat of epoxy to old thread wraps?

    Friends, I pulled one of my first rod builds out of its case last night after maybe 15 years, because I want to use it more this summer, and laughed at how bad the thread wraps were. They aren't bad enough to cut off and rewrap, but I kind of want to refresh it a bit. What would happen if I...

    Oros Indicators in Bulk

    The other option I have done with these is to switch them up by unscrewing them and then you can mix-n-match halves. So I have white/orange, white/pink/, green/orange...the multicolor is just easier to catch after I look away and then look back and try to find it again. No different than many...

    What's your favorite console fish/depth finder/charter thingy?

    I agree. I went with a 5" on my last purchase and really wish I would have gone with a 7". In the store and holding something right in front of me or looking at a demo on the shelf a 5" seems like more than enough. But then I get out in the sun, and I am standing up, maybe a few feet away...

    NFR Truck tires?

    I have Falken Wildpeak AT/3W on my Tacoma and like them. But the most significant change was I ran KO2s on my 4Runner for a long time. Other than fresh rain, I liked them and thought they were great. But when I switched to Pinza AT from Les Schwab if felt like I got an entirely new suspension...

    Floating Leech ?

    I met a guy on Lenore one time who often fished with a foam hopper on a sinking line. He swore by it, but I never got around to tying it.

    The one about the winter floor replacement project...

    I love these threads, and I hope you enjoy the project. I just wish I had the time, space, or skills to do something like this. I guess I will just keep following along as you all do cool stuff! I look forward to updates. (y)

    The jerky thread

    I went through a phase where I made my own and ate so much of it!!! Got thinly sliced beef from a butcher near my house, never measured but added A1, Worcestershire, honey, and soy sauce, marinade for 24 hours, then put in dehydrator. Loved it, and thought it was better than anything I could...
