  1. Yes they do!
  2. I think he meant the Hatch reel, not the Hardy....
  3. Just going with what is stated on their website, dude! "...we use both U.S and Korean manufactured components" "Assembled" and "Made" are two totally different things!!
  4. Mike, Just another reminder that of the ones you list, all are made off shore (and assembled in the USA) except the lslanders and Bauers which are (totally) made in Canada and the USA respectively... If you are at all concerned about quality, that is...
  5. Isn't that how Steve Irwin (the former crocodile hunter) died?!
  6. No not a bird, per se, but I think Colin mentioned it last time we were out fishing!
  7. Sweet "SeaMonster" Dave! I have a previous version of it in Titanium!! P
  8. Surfing and Fly fishing in Mexico!!
  9. Rob, He gets his looks from Sandy, obviously!! j/k!! Congrats! P
  10. Vic, Why did you not submit it electronically? P
  11. Remember folks, this proposal will restrict OHV use, which in my opinion is ok (others may not agree, but that is your right)!!
  12. Over the last few years wool (merino) has come back in popularity.! As with synthetics it still insulates when wet (damp) but with the added advantage that it doesn't stink! There are a few brands, Patagonia, smart wool, Icebreaker, and Ibex are all great brands, but MEC and Helly Hanson, etc. all have their own, as well... P
  13. It features an older gentleman talking about his COPD and how it has restricted ( no pun intended) him fishing with his grandson. Notice the type of rods they are using!! Spinning rods with fly reels on them!! LoL! Can't the advertising people consult the appropriate "professionals"?! This the 2nd or 3rd ad that features a fly angler that isn't close to being accurate. I've noticed similar screw ups with any ads that feature rock climbing or mountaineering!
  14. Talk to Colin (cdone). He's Snowbee prostaff and will have the answers you seek. The Snowbee waders he has have lasted a longtime. And if memory serves me correctly, Snowbee was the 1st to develop front zippered waders that everyone one else copied!!
  15. Got'cha!
  16. Sealline! What are you looking for Jay just a dry bag/pack? I might be able to help you out... Or are you looking for a specific bag like the SIMMS or Fish Pond ones that look like a soft side cooler? There are also the barrel type dry storage that might also work for you that are inexpensive @MEC (or you can also get some olive barrels from restaurants)... P
  17. If you google the guy, he's from New York! Any of you face bookers or linkedin'rs can contact him directly!
  18. Yes Jared, I already do that, That wasn't the issue I was experiencing for the most part, but good advice nonetheless. P
  19. I wanted to send out a thank you to Ben at Icky Fly Works! I've been quite vocal on here about some issues I've had with the quality of some of the flies I have received from Icky Fly Works in the past and low and behold I had a package waiting for me in todays mail with a bunch of replacement flies (replacing most flies going back a few years even - 2 1/2 dozen in all!)! Great customer service! Thanks Ben! Cheers! Peter
  20. I'm in if people want to join me on Tuesday!!
  21. Jared, I am aware of that and took that into consideration... The Rio has a slightly shorter head, but both are 250 grain. As a bully/pike set up it should work just fine...
  22. Nope this was definitely a flaw as the outer sheath was sliding overtop of the mono core (wasn't fused) so I replaced it with some Rio sink tip!! LoL P
  23. I've had several (3) CPX's. Nice fast blank! Just sold one, but my wife has both a 5 wt & 6 wt and likes them. My preference is to use a SA GPX line - I find it loads them very nicely!! I think they have been discontinued so you should be able to pick them up for at least 30% off! My only complaint is that the grip/handle is a little narrow for my liking, but that seems to be the trend these days with a lot of rod manufacturers... P
  24. I just put some brand new SA Streamer Express on my 8 wt reel and as I was putting on my loop the outer sheath of the sink tip pulled off to exposed the nylon (mono) core (about and inch)... Is this a flaw in the line and worth returning?! On a side note, I've been having issues with SA lines recently (no comments from the Rio folks please!!) anyone else been experiencing quality control issues with SA lines? P
