    Braid, There I said it!

    Umm, 6 lbs and ultralight? Dang ditch pickle fishermen. 4 lbs is light, goes down from there. I cringe when water is mud and fish are 12lbs+ so I UPSIZE to 6lbs.

    Braid, There I said it!

    I started with braid in late 90’s thinking fish couldn’t see the green color. It hasn’t changed much since and arguably got worse. We can argue the material science behind it but a slick coating regardless of how less trendy it is will always be superior in my view. I’ve tried a bunch of braids...

    The salmon reel by Okuma is pretty sweet so it seems either I got a dud or they haven’t gotten the higher end models sorted yet.

No it’s not actually despite my best efforts. Felt rough from day 1. The President XT is sweet. The Daiwa BG20 is close but reel backwards and...

    Braid, There I said it!

    Braid? I tried something like that for my 8 yo at gymnastics. That mess fell apart and her coach wasn’t nice about her fixing so she went all class in her face. Braids are for old grumpy frumpy washed up gymnasts and rebels salmon fishing in Pulaski. Used it on a trout rod 20 years ago and tried...

    My response was all jacked. Boot, if your out a fly rod shoot me a PM. May have an extra St Croix I could shoot your way. A-5’s favorite Shakespeare is a household favorite despite Randy Z, A-5, and myself trying to educate em on better quality. They still go for the 4’6” Shakespeare. Almost...
