Just re-reading this thread.. really getting fed up with my front 3-4 feet sinking under when trying to nymph. Both my lines do it.. one Mastery Series trout taper, and the other Sharkskin trout taper.. i'm sure it must be the taper. CDock has the GPX taper and his is fine.
Today I looked and the smallest pike line is an 8 weight.. are you guys just over-lining?
You guys are missing the point.. It doesn't HAVE to change. They're just testing it right now.
Once they know it works properly, you can CHOOSE to use the old one, or the new one. Nothing is being forced.
My Korkers are completely coming apart at the seams after only 2 seasons. Same with my buddy's. Very disappointed. I won't be getting another pair.
Simms Rivershed are next on the list.
So I found a bunch of these amongst my spinning gear...
Pulled out the needle nosed pliers and took off the clip part.. ready to try out this swivel idea next time out! Looking forward to it.
I have a few leads but nothing too solid yet. I'm even contemplating possibly changing careers altogether.. I just don't know if our budget can handle it right now.
