Oh yeah, that’s a legitimate concern! I throw gravel all over the damn place with the 35x12.5s

BFG KO2s always

Dude, I wish I’d have bought the 7110, 6124, and the 8136!!! I’m terrified of the 6110 breaking, but I think I have a backup plan if Echo doesn't have the parts.

My brother is just getting into throwing the double hander, he just got his first dry line fish on my old trusty Echo glass 6110. That rod has landed some damn fine fish, including a 33ish” dry fly buck from 2016 that had an adipose the size of my (not so dainty) thumb. Landed the fish in 3...

I’ve had a Goodts Dash cam since I bought my Tundra. It’s pretty decent with good resolution/functionality. I’ve never used the smartphone function, but I’ve never needed to use the footage either. 30 bucks on Amazon...

Ziplocks for big marabous is a winter tradition 😂

I think that’s where I’m headed

I generally fish smaller dries, also. My lead fly is almost always a size 8 Purple or Tan/orange Lil Wang. Or a size 6 Grease liner or Muddler. Lots of super tinies for comeback work.

Interesting. I have the 7/8 570gr in both FF and the WA, as well as a few 35s for my switch rods, but my brother is getting a new 7130 setup and I think I’ll point him toward the Undertaker. For those of you that have cast both, do you like Gaelforces midbelly options or the Undertaker better?

Yo, I’ve used a bunch of different boxes, and have mostly fell in love with cheap tin boxes that I don’t give a shit about, but lately I’ve been thinking about a nicer Wheatley style box….what’s your go to?

Anyone cast this yet? I’m curious how they changed the taper from the Fall Favorite line. The FF series has been my favorite line for over a decade, so hopefully the Undertaker is even better? The only thing I can think of to improve the FF would be to give a small amount of additional...

I’ve landed plenty of kings pretty quickly on 7wt Spey rods, and 7wt single handed rods. I’ve only had one fish in the history of my fishing for steelhead and salmon kick my ass, and it bent the hook out before the fight got too far. That’s because the pressure you can put on a fish depends on...

I have too much to say, to only say that it’s sad. I hung up my local upland hunting desires 10 years ago. Glad I had such a blast from 1994-2004. We had some amazing days over our Gordon Setters.

I hooked two on spinners yesterday, but both came unpinned and it’s because I had a slightly bent tip on a Gami siwash. So pissed at myself. One of them was a chromer.

Oh, I’m sure! There is just so much fun water up higher, I could never stop at Miller’s.

In either case, I’ve never enjoyed Millers. Not enough elbow room for my liking, and I’d take one skated fish over a bunch of bobber fish any day. *Ira’s ears perk up* We haven’t had a good nymph vs swing fight in a while….just saying 😂

It’s tough in August, you have to get up fairly early before the flotilla crowd gets on the water….better in Sept-Oct and then late spring early summer.

I think the hydrodynamics from the prop cause it. Fyi it’s when I’m trolling with my main (Honda 60hp)

Sorry, I meant how far behind the boat…like on the line counter? The only reason I ask is that I noticed when I run a rod behind my boat at some trolling speeds (sub 0.5 land speed) I tend to get tangles if I’m fishing less than 25’ behind the boat. It’s really only happened to me in lakes or...

How far back were you?
