It is the glory of the art [of angling] that its disciples never grow
old. The muscles may relax and the beloved rod become a burden, but the
fire of enthusiasm kindled in youth is never extinguished.

I have been thinking about unusual hooks and was wondering what you all
have come across. For example, the hooks that come with attached posts,
weird bends, weird japanese stuff,etc.
Pictures or links would be nice. Did you find them useful or a sham?

Jimmy,
With your feet the way they are, you should take me to Padre Island so we can
fish redfish on the flats.
I could put that Tibor on my 8wt and test out the drag for you.
Once I retire, I'll pick you up on the way there with my toy-hauler and we can
spend a month or two on the flats.

I’ve been dealing w/ a lot of family issues, in-laws now w/ my father’s
sister. We spent Thanksgiving touring two hospitals in Evergreen Park IL, so
no fishing or tying. Got most of my swap flies done, but don’t like how the
alpaca dubbed, so I’m going to review the round ones’ new DVD see if
Yep, that's it. One beautiful fly reel.

I think I have seen the minnow once in a book somewhere, These sorts of
things never make it to these shores though.
The floats are still available here and were based on porcupine quills.
Many still are coloured that way.even have one end ultra
pointy.easy to prick yourself.

Interesting, but I don't know if I would use it personally. Extra
weight added, a lot of post of which only a tiny proportion would be used.
Have you used it? Any positives?

Waho! DonO made it to Hawaii or at least his DVD. Now let's get some
preliminaries out of the way. What is the river on the cover? I recognize
the face. Will you show on the DVD how to tie that good looking stone?
Thanks DonO and as soon as I get home from work I will preview it.
Mike
I will second the peace. And I love the reel. And DonO I watched a TU
session on the flats at Padre. That would be a treat. Maybe someday. I
thought I had a ride to the Christmas Islands for bonefishing but it fell
through. Happy 70th Jimmy

What sort of reel would one use for such a rod, I have always been a
sucker for ultra light rods, but never seen a reel small or light enough
to accomodate them.

You don't need much to bury the hook on this one. The one on the picture is
a #12, but I have a box of #16 too. If they were larger, I could have seen
some streamer type purposes. But just because they were even made this
small, has made me think no, it must be something else.
/Nick
I have a small reel I was able to get from Dorber. It fits the 1 wt perfect and
balances real well.
Here is a U tube of one of my 1 wt rods in action down in Texas.

Alan,
I don't know of any other than some I have made from broken Graphite rods.
There was a guy from N.J. that gave a demo at the Catskill Rodmakers Gathering
who showed how to make them. I have used graphite inserts in some of the Bamboo
ferrules I have experimented with. If you get to come
If I make a rod from wood that I turn on my lathe, I just thought it would be a
nice contrast.
Maybe even a Stainless Steel reel seat. It sure would have a rather industrial
look.
