Saw two of my old rods listed there. Memories. Funny, with the thread on rod grips, styles, and quality, Sage appears to have had better cork grips back then vs currently

Coach…. Do it! Do it before something rears its ugly head. You’re of the age where things you’ve never thought about can rear it’s ugly head, unannounced. My wife & I have been doing it 10+ years but without the camper trailer / motor home set up. We get along better in the truck, confined to...

Randy it’s interesting you say that. I’ve done a fair amount of saltwater deep jigging over wrecks and casting large poppers to breaking tuna. My rods of choice are primarily JDM rods made by Smith Ltd in Japan. They use an EVA foam with a density composition designed for the rods use. That is...

I might have some downstairs among my 20 lb collection of various S/W hooks. Having moved inland away from the salt and not tying at the moment I have them stored in my “b-I-d” section….before I die. Have company at the moment but if I can escape the cacophony at some point today I’ll get back...

Full Wells on anything in salt and large caliber fresh water 6 wt and up. Cigar on 4 wts and down where delicate casts are needed at times. I do not care for any Sage reverse half wells as they are too short & too small in diameter for my hands. Also, the cork they tend to use is let’s say...

Welcome to the ‘hood Gary. When things are settled we’ll have enough for a poker game. As someone said above Pittsburgh has a lot going for it now. A lot going on downtown and surrounding area. Outdoor recreation opportunities everywhere, hunting, fishing, hiking, etc, and no state tax on...

Then the inevitable notification: “Due to large mass of the double taper fly line bodies we have been forced to increase…blah…blah……the situation unfortunately is beyond our control at this time. Current plans moving forward may also force a slight increase in the weight forward lines but...

Purrtee lookin’ rod there. I’d take that to the dance.

Sebastian Inlet / Indian River area has some great redfish guides and cool inshore sight fishing. It’s less than two hours from Disney Mayhem Center. Check Bill Kiene’s website as he now lives in Sebastian. Prep the night before, bolt at 0400 be on the water ready to cast by 0700 be headed back...

So I’m on my daily 6-8 mile trek minding my own business just north of Little Round Top and I happen glance to the right and I see this guy waiting for the light to change on Sedgewick Ave. Eastern Rat Catcher. He was a good 6+’ trying to hide from me. Couldn’t get all of him in one frame...

Tierra Del Fuego 1985 Pan Am JFK / Buenos Aires R/T $389 Aerolineas BA / Viedma / Rio Gallegos / Ushuaia RT on a 14 day ticket $150+/-. Think Subway pass. When you could knock / ask & fish for less than a second mortgage & first born and get by on $50 US/day. It’s just me but the last couple...

Bummer…….I thought we were discussing Paul Young’s rods, especially his Parabolic 15 line. Flexed down to the cap & ring but what a smooth recoil when you captured the right moment to proceed forward. I’ll let myself out, thx.

Rich, are you packing & shipping or packing and hauling them yourself? If you’re shipping them and you do not have the original boxes they came with go with @DimeBrite rec of foam, packed in sturdy cardboard boxes, taped securely and marked on four sides “Diapers/Bathroom”. Think Churchill and...

I’ve found if you’ve been away from the tying, wrapping, cutting, smoothing, etc, for some time the muscle/ brain memory function has basically short circuited. Understand you are starting over but the basics are still implanted. I would get so ticked off when starting again after about five...
