Hey dude. SS is what i ended up using on the stick u sold me. It shoots like crazy. Doesnt knot up like i thought it would. Its my first setup so i cant compare but it seems to work well. Picks up easy and like maxwell said stacks good too. Kinda slick when tryin to set up or start a cast sometimes tho. Can slip a bit.

shape a short bullet, touch of k glue , few more wraps, whipfinish with tool or by hand then 2-3 coats of diamond coat nail polish. (this what u meant?)

My fav is my runner, but i like the look of the nautilus

those r awesome man!!!!.......do u weight them or fish them near the surface

that is bad a!!

It all depends on how u look at it. It takes me 2 hrs to get to a fly shop and my truck is a pig. That adds up. Also, ordering flies has a shipping cost. No , i dont save money buy tying my own flies but i do save money by not having to travel to get flys or order them. However u want to look at it i guess.

Hey there island guy. I want the skagit head for tips and big streamers. I do have the elixor and it is perfect for the lighter stuff(i believe its the 380) Got it from the guys at riptide . If i do get a full spey, what setup would i need for fishing dries like bombers , rifflehitch micos, diff skaters. I do understand that a skagit would be to heavy/noisy hitting the water for dry fishing. A scandi setup? My ideal full spey will either be the 13' metaldetector or a loop(not sure which) paired with a speedrunner. Just not sure of line for dry stuff. Any word on the clinic yet? thanks for your input. greatly appreciated!!!!! Tight lines.

Thanks dude. Lookin like i can make it work. Seems like they r made small? Hows the lengths in the arms. Ive always had to go one size bigger in jackets due to my arm length.

Yes ...good info

Im looking to get a loop opti jacket. Im 6-2 220ish. I have found a jacket for 250 plus shipping but cant get the 2xl ,only the 3xl. Is there anyone on here with a 3xl jacket and how does it fit? I dont want to buy the jacket of it will fit a small elephant. It will be worn in the cold for sure with a couple sweaters uderneath. Im guessing it might be a bit big for just a tshirt underneath? just lookin for some insight on buying the 3xl or not. Thanks . Tight lines................................

Some stuff ive been workin on

nice dude!

thanks guys for the input. Very helpfull indeed. Im headin out to a lake tomorrow to do some practicing. Got a bunch of tips set up to try out and will switch between heads. I think my problem is i over power my cast trying to rip everything out of the water to get more distance along with the tip setup ive been using. SO............what size rod should i invest in. My home salmon river is quite large and alot of the runs are hard to fish with lots of brush and bushed behind u. I def want a skagit head but just not sure of size of rod . kinda leanin to an 8wt. Will be swingin heavy tips and non-weighted flies. Also small stuff in the summer(size 4-8) and bomber dries and various skaters. might keep the switch for the lighter stuff tho. Thanks again for the info guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dude. So , do i need to add any floating tip if im using a shorter sinktip. Ive spliced an old 10wt singlehand line to a few piesec of sinking line but havent tried them yet. They al total about 15 feet with 10/5 6/9 3/12 floating/sinktip ratio. I think they r like the mow tip idea. gotta get out i guess any try it. Ill let u know how i make out. Thanks again!

good job jay and ty....................all the way from the NS!!!!!!!!!! Ur vids r always killer.
