Mass producing these guys................goona add a hot pink and orange as well.................the Chart is the only tested color and works well.
Might be worth trying for steelheads
-
I agree with this for me at least.....my set up is lower than anyone else that I've seen and for a portable vise I have the adjustable post Norvise as it gives me added flexiblity as to height. For a chair I use a backed bar stool as most chairs will have me sitting too low.
For sure, height was the main problem I had. Keep your arms low and the pain between your shoulder blades will disapear.

I bought an ATV. Told my gf about it and said "its in the garage". She never believed me for 2 months. Then she came out n saw it. Good times.
Kinda did that with my truck, it went like this
Me: Honey I want to talk to you about getting a new truck
She: I don't want to talk about it
Me: OK
Two days later
She: Who owns that truck parked in our drive way
Like you said good times

Looking for a bit on info on flyline for my new Z-Axis 8100 (Single Hander not sure if there is Switch 8100)
First of all the Z-Axis is a lot more rod than I'm use to, currently own several Launch models including a 890-4. The Z-axis although manageable (444 8WF) for my casting style will take some getting use too.
Local Choice is down to 444, Performace Taper II, Wluff TT, Air Cel, maybe a GPX.
I'm wondering about the Performance Taper II, Sage puts it off as the line of choice for it premium rods (of couse they do). Is this line rated heavier than its normal designation like the Rio Grand (+1/2 wt) or are they true to their rating.
Any suggestions?

They sure have.
I've been in the market for a new salmon rod 8100-4 Z-Axis for some time decided it was time to pull the trigger. Dropped in to my local dealer and he didn't have one on the rack, so I asked him to order me one, said he would this weekend. After a day or two I started thinking on the exchange rate and decided to call another out of province dealer to see if he had one in stock and he didn't and could not honour his listed price due to the exchange rate and that sage has upped there prices. ($45 MSRP on the launch 4 piece I know for sure) and the new price would be around $890 plus taxes instead of the listed $695.
Looking like I wouldn't be getting the new rod I called back the guy who was ordering me the z-axis to get a final price and thinking of cancelling the order, he said he found one in the back and the price was $689 based on the old price and the strength of the cdn when he bought it in.
Can't wait to get off of work and try this thing...................to bad the season is over..............oh well there is always the salt.

Very nice fish, but I suspect that the guide was looking for a nice tip.

Thanks Everyone
SJW
Thanks for that site. The new dyed necks will be great as I was looking for 4 or 5 white to dye for Atlantics. I'll give them a call monday and hopefully they will have them in stock.

Whiting just has a single grade now and they are tough to get. Whiting has the same issues with supply. You can special order it from Superfly through one of the shops in town that deals with them. They didhave a good supply.
Would you mind say which shop that is, I'm not from Calgary and would need to mail order them.
-
Does anyone know of a shop who has Metz or Whiting hen necks (grade 1) in stock..........................looking for 4 or 5 of them in a white or cream, can't find them anywhere. Apparently metz has a 8 mth back order and won't have any available untill the end of Nov.

Most damage was a complete tear of my ACL.
Most pain, was falling down the stairs with my then 4 month old girlie in my arms. Hard to believe how hard you hit when you don't get a chance to brace for it................wool socks and hardwood stairs don't go together. She got scared, I got fractured ribs.
