  1. I recently purchase some scientific anglers professional wf 6 full sink line. When I put it on my reel last night I notice that there was no difffence between the front section and rear section of the line. It looked like a level line. Is this normal? The website shows the front section having a head but there was no noticeble difference in the diameter of the line throughout the entire section of the line. Garlic
  2. Anyone know of a rod builder in Calgary that is able to do a repair. Busted a guide on my rod clearing ice and St Croix said it was ok to get it repaired by someone in Calgary. Thanks
  3. I noticed the food is way more moist/juicy using the charcoal grill. I got the visions from Canadian tire and the food taste way better
  4. Anyone use the reddington rise reels? Any issues? Made an impulse buy the other day and not much out there for info regrding them. $200 was more than I wanted to spend but got sucked in with the lifetime warranty. Was going to get the president reel but not a ton of backing can go o these, maybe 30 yds the specs say. I overline my rod with a 7 weight line so I wouldn't get hardly any backing on that reel. Thanks for your replies
  5. Thanks for all your replies guys. A friend is going to let me chuck his 8 and see how I like it before I purchase one. Cheers
  6. I'm in the market to buy a rod and I'm torn between buying a 7 weight or 8 weight rod. It will be used for fishing mainly streamers, maybe heavy nymph setups, on the Bow and the odd bull trout safari and Pike outing. Is there that much advantaged/differences between the 2? Thanks
  7. TAke a look at canadian tire. They sell the Vision grill. I think top of the line vision grill is $700
  8. Upgraded from my st croix avid to the legend elite. nothing but issues with the upgraded rod. wish i would of kept my Avid. Sometimes better isn't always better
  9. Ended up getting the Freestones with the vibram sole yesterday. Now to find time to test them. Thanks for all the help. I figure if they are keeping Rick out of the drink, can't be all that bad
  10. I believe they come with a lifetime warranty. Bottom of the line simms, but if you want more pockets and stuff, you pay more. I got a pair of freestones waders 7 + years and still no leaks. The fishing hole has freestone boots with felts for $100 last time I was there also
  11. Saw a pair a Simms at BPS for $ 139 yesterday. buy those and the freestones for $160 and you've stayed on budget
  12. try take your apple router and mac to the apple store and see if they can find the issue. The service I have had in the past has been great there. Or try changing on the roouter the user name, password, check if your routers settings are wpa or wep (wpa is better) change channel on router
  13. Thanks guys for the replies. Going to try and pick up a pair of Freestones this weekend. Heard they fit nice on wide feet. Other option I was looking at was the korkers Metal Heads. Lady at one of the local stores says it a great boot. Ciao
  14. Thinking of purchasing a pair of simms with the vibram soles. Read mixed reviews and would like to see what local anglers think of the sole in terms of durablity and traction. Thanks GM
  15. The metal part going into the handle is loose and the reel moves around the butt end. Anyone know of a person that is able to fix this in Calgary? I don't want to send it to St.Croix and wait the three weeks for the repair. St Croix says it won't void the warranty. Thanks for your help. GM
