@Mike Cline, Great idea. Thank you so much. Where can one find the alcohol markers? Best brand to use? I assume it the one in the pictures. Happy 2026. Bob

@Greenbuttskunk, For me it was red, itchy skin after the last 3 or 4 tying sessions. The turning point for me, came after a 3 hour tying spree. The red, itchy skin oozed fluid, then scabbed up once that stopped, which after a full day of that unpleasantness. Called it good. Like I...

Thank you @Old406Kid, I think I will use these in conjunction with @Jim in Anacortes idea of the reel "Taco". I already use these inside my truck, for holding the broke down rod together. I lay it assembled across my dashboard, between spots. Happy New Year Bob

Morning, All around that looks like a decent deal. Appears to be in good shape and well cared for. Very nice looking set up IMHO. The trailer looks pretty solid. If those fenders are plastic you might spend some time asking why. I dont know anything about a swing tongue so maybe someone...

Good idea @SurfnFish, I see a ton of them at the thrift store too. Happy 2026

Thanks @Jim in Anacortes, I think I got it. I may make the "Taco" about 6 inches around. I think this will allow me to "Taco" the Reel, the fly in the hook keeper and the two halved rod pieces. As we can fish up to three flies here, I will also make two other, 3 inch, "Tacos", like you...

@Greenbuttskunk, I was gonna go @Mike Cline route but I have found I am allergic to the Solarez Bone Dry UV Resin. I think after three years of using this, my body said no more. Total Drag. I love the product and the end result. @Zak turned me onto Sally Hansen Hard As Nails using multiple...

Hey @Jim in Anacortes, Can you post a picture of your home made taco wrap? No worries if your too busy. I am curious of the design. I think in the near future I am going to need some new neoprene waders so my old ones may be salvaged for your wraps. I cut off the feet and use the booties...

Hey @iveofione, Did you get this Parabolic Line? If so what did you think. I am looking to maybe get the 3/5/3 line in a 5 weight and am curious about your thoughts. Happy 2026 Bob

Morning, If you have a moment could you either repost that picture of this product or maybe attach a link, with theproduct name? For some reason I can not bring your picture up. Thank you for any and all help. Bob

Hey Jim is there any way you could post a picture of this modification. I think Id like to make a few. Thank you. Happy 2026

@Scudley Do Right, I think you will be pleased with the Wulff line. Ive had one for about 20 years and its still going strong. Its the Wulff Triangle Taper. I had a good 7 years of heavy use out of it, right out of the box. The last 13ish years has been a few times each season. No cracks...

@skyriver, Excellent Mod.

@Mike Cline, Thank you for your Service. There is still much Poverty here: Appalachians, Midwest, Deep South. As mentioned, so many Americans have no idea. Thought provoking post. Bob

Best Grandpa ever! Beautiful work. Thats what Christmas is about. Bob

Following with interest. I think traditionally, 3 weights were considered not strong enough, to throw a sinking line, without damage to the rod. I see Cortland starts their sinking lines at 4 weights.

I like this idea. I used to tie Big Foam Bass Flies with old flip flops. As I also dabble in leather making, the hole punches would be dual purpose. I am eyeing a pack of foam ear plugs to do some Booby's with. I also made some small foam poppers out of the same ear plugs. @Herkileez nice...

Hey all, I know I will sound like a grump but daggum, Booby Cord Foam, is kind of expensive. I found a work around, for the tail section, when tying FABS. I tie on a rectangular section, of 3mm - 5 mm, flat foam and then cut a slit, into the middle of the foam. Works perfect. I can not...

@Scudley Do Right, Congrats on the end of Chemo. If you hit Henrys Lake, Id recommend 4 other close options, for that time of year. Hebgen Lake near West Yellowstone. Cliff and Wade Lakes, between Henrys Lake and the Madison River. Cliff and Wade Lakes are smaller and more intimate...
