    Not a fan of the bright green color, but Flexzilla has been the best garden hose I've found so far. Eight years without any kinking, coiling, bulging issues. This last year, I noticed a little mildew on the external surface, a little outdoor wash vanished it.

    Dude! You've fallen into the abyss. And I mean that in a good way! Good work, and with your girlfriend already into flyfishing... full speed ahead!

    Adjusting to a fast action rod

    Yes, it includes that, but also can just be an over-rotation of the wrist break, trying to 'fling it out there' on the final cast. Sometimes, I have to remind myself: nothing different from my previous false cast, except maybe a little more length on the left hand haul. It's rather satisfying...

    Adjusting to a fast action rod

    I don't consider myself someone to ordinarily offer casting advice. But, seeing as how I am a recent purchaser of a Boost Blue in both a 6wt and 7wt, here goes... Fast rods, soft tips; so for me this means no extra right side effort to achieve distance, let the rod do the work. In particular...

    Just a one day observation... Where I fished in MA9 yesterday, there was great anticipation of keeping the larger wild coho that had to be released in the prior weeks. Some were really nice toads! Lots of mumbling going on. Naturally, the day comes you can keep them, and my granddaughter and...

    Nice meeting Stonedfish today! Full day of punching into the wind, and getting clobbered by rollers. All my fishing inside of 40 feet. I went 0/4 in the morning, then 2/4 in the afternoon just after tide change. One larger clipped fish, and a rezzie. Tried moving in order to not fight the...

    So no crackling glo-stick like Stonedfish? Man, that pic makes me nervous! 🤣

    Thank you for your feedback! For me, reasonable would be 200 hours/yr for two years. All my OBS lines (5 maybe) have lasted at least that long except for the one. Some were never susceptible to the cracking/missing coating segments at all. I should have been more specific in pointing to...

    Along with the majority of voters on this thread, I personally like the way the OBS casts. I realize these lines are self destructing in the hands of Stonedfish 🤣, but are others getting reasonable longevity? @Merle @Kfish @Mossback , others? I only had trouble with one batch/generation...

    Thank you Andy! Very helpful, and also timely for me. I will be picking up my 7wt boost blue tomorrow. Told the shop owner I was undecided on the line. When I described what I was lookin for, he also suggested I look at the Rio Aqualux lake line. When I mentioned overlining, he seemed open...

    6wt beach rod........

    Another thumbs up for the boost blue 6wt. I've had it about a month now. I have a 7wt on order for these wild ocean coho, but I seem to be managing these bigger fish adequately with the 6wt. The downside might be exhausting the largest wild fish that we are required to release right now in...

    If at first you don't succeed... Started like this: First light, wind knot after a few casts. Oh well, roll with it. Toad! Break off! Then, 0/4 on fish that became unbuttoned half way in! Nice fish too! Followed up by a rezzie too small to keep! But wait! There's more! Tide changed and...

    Way to go guys! Hopefully, your newly earned karma will bring you a full day of that coho insanity! 😃

    Today was Opposite Day. Early light under a marine layer, nothing going on. About 10:30 the action started as the sun was breaking through! 5/6 Coho, 4 wild, one clipped. One wild was chunky, pic doesn't do it justice, but you can see it's a thick fish looking near the tail. Multiple runs...

    Other factors to consider beyond the size of the fish you are targeting are wind conditions, and the bulk, or the weight, of the flies you are casting. I recently purchased a Boost Blue 6wt, and it's been a hoot landing pinks with the rod in a deep bend. With low wind conditions and bead...

    I would recommend a 6wt for expansion beyond migratory salmon season fishing. However, the timing of the breakage is right when ocean returning coho is just now heating up! You might be more comfortable with a 7wt in hand for the short term. Provide more information about your overall planned...
