Well since you are just going by what is on their website I will assume you did not read the rest of the sentence they have on their website. "Q- Where are your reels made? A – Our reels are assembled and quality controlled at our factory in Boise, Idaho. All of our machined reels (Guru, Velocity, Litespeed, Waterworks ULA and Vanquish) use components manufactured by our U.S.-based machining partners. Konic, which is a hybrid of pressure-cast and machined parts, uses both U.S. and Korean manufactured component parts." The Konic(which is their low end reel) is the only not 100% made in the states. But I guess you pick and choose what you read.

Wrong...Lamson is made in the USA. Get your facts straight before spewing BS

This debate is for barbed/barbless hooks. Not snelled hooks, they have always been legal.

I walked about 200 yards of river yesterday and saw 1 half dead brown covered with this and 1 dead one. Both were large fish (22+- inches) and both were males. Sad to see.

I dont go through the trouble of finding out of the way gems to post them on the internet, but I just figured it was funny how he is guiding people on this place 5 days a week and then complaining about increased pressure. Wonder why...........

It isn't a well known spot, I can guarantee you have never heard of it. Searches on the web bring up very little. Obviously I will not be naming it. However how could a guide not think that guiding on it 5 days a week could bring pressure. I think he is digging his own grave.

Was fishing a place down south and ran across a guide with clients. He told me about how he guides there 5 days a week all summer long. He also told me I shouldn't tell anybody about said spot because its a secret and word cant get out. Thoughts????

Not very tough...no black on bull trout's dorsal fins. That is one of the main indications.

looks more like a brookie than a bully on the first pic

I`d sure hope not!

good idea! not like they have changed anything on the litespeeds in 12 years......oh wait......

not long enough....

Well the fish you posted in the 2nd picture is different from the first fish. Spots are quite different.

The first fish has a couple inches on the second one! I think you mean younger brother
