Wow, Scott, that's a lot of good info. This gets saved in the gear/rods/lines folder. Why slick guides would matter to me: 1. When it's really windy here, like 70% of the time, to get any accurate distance, I have to really speed up a short cast, power up the last cast, and then shoot the

Chuck, now you're talking 'material swaps', something we used to do a lot of. Get 10 tiers off line and make up swap-bags to trade out. My idea is for bulk purchasing discount. A few may need to trade out, but someone has to come up with the cash. Cruise the Moscow Hide Fur site. Call for

MeddelandeNick, I don't think Jimmy was singling you or Chuck or me out with exclamation points or the comment in general. Yours was the last email on the topic and that made it the one he replied to the list on. So it seemed like he was addressing you (or Chuck?) and it was, I believe, the

Well, it looked like that to me since he didn't say a word about it in his reply to Allan, that he posted before I mentioned it... and the fact that mine was the only quoted even though Allan's was quoted in mine didn't make me feel less behind the cross hairs either. I know that Allan's wasn't

Wow ! These guys at Moscow H F have a ton of materials, most of which are used for tying. I am interested in some of the materials (in small amounts), but right now I don't have the $$ available to buy all the skins. Also, meistering a swap like this would be a long drawn out process.

I am interjecting a thought here to start a thread in the middle of the discussion about hooks and hook prices, etc. Forgive me. Here is my question: How do you-all manage hook storage? I am convinced that most of you have at least as many hook styles and sizes as I do. I really like the

My dubbing isn't on pelts..just in bags, such as SLF and those you can get in any good fly shop. I love that stuff, as well as UV dub. Again, not pelts, bags. Much of my plain dark dubbing fur to hold things together comes from Lion brand wool/acrylic yarn which I cut up and turn to dubbing in a

Larry, 'Problem' is that nowadays the scope of hook styles goes way beyond sizes. (I'm not complainin'.) There are so many manufacturers, styles, metals, colors, specialized shapes, custom bends, that it's just impossible to keep track of them, at least, be well organized. I try to divide
