Don't post on here anymore but can't resist this comment. You think your entitled to better treatment cause your a yahoo who sunk a 6-12K driftboat? See CFD conduct a swift water rescue with the Tomkat a few months ago? They gave a rats ass to the $5 dingy but rescued the damsel in distress. Same would have been done with you guys.

I like to use a 6/7 and or 7/8 that will toss big nasties...My 6/7 throws a 22.5' 525 grain with medium MOW tips and covers most of my big bugs... However when I'm into tossing dead chickens I'll use the 7/8 with a 25.5' 575 grain with heavy MOW's

Agreed....

Isn't a dead drift under a bobber in reality bait fishing anyhoo?

The picture of the sweep with the load on the rod is pretty neato....

Correct!!

I think we should all just cut the hooks off and count the number of pulls you get.....

The Beulah Platinum 13'2 7wt is a very nice stick... Had a chance to cast a buddies with a 525 Tonic... I was very impressed.. However I'm a huge fan of any stick Meiz builds..you can't go wrong with any of his series..

since this looks like its turning into another rickr circle jerk session...thought I'd throw a shout out to shc and say I agree.. respect is gone on the bow and its full contact out there. there is no reason to drift through H2O that a person is working..no reason at all on a river that large... use you oars for what they where designed for and row your fat ass out of the way. Plain and simple.

1. Can you explain how and why you assume a jet puts rising fish down after you only drift by ONCE at current speed and continue to move downriver past the feeding fish/or pod of fish?? 2. Lets not regulate jet boats lets have a rod day system for the guides. They are the ones that need regulation not jets.

Good so you should'nt mind a jet blasting by, after you use your legs and lungs to boot pack in to some remote place.

Ummmmm no for various reasons. 1. It would be non-stop starting and stopping. Hard on drive trains, pumps and minds. 2. A boat on plane equals less boat in river, which than has less wake. Don't hate the jets cause you don't have one people.

Go fish or smoke a J-bird...whichever removes that stick from your ass. Pump the brakes dude..Your pics are not that good that you will need a Lawyer.

Spool up the speydicator and your good to go plunk fish all day long......... Look on the airflo website at who designed it.... They don't even want to be named...I would'nt want to either!!!!

Gordon, Agreed that this site has been quite as of late... Think most people are out plunking fish rather than fishing for them...Anyhoo... The others that I also visit seem to be business as usual. Not stirring the pot just giving a potential reason why big Speycasting Uk and euroland companies may not commit to the North American Market. And lets face it you can only beat Skagit vs Scando vs Long belly threads for so long till it get's damn right boring and people need to fish!!
