  1. gregs got it wrapping it around your hands u put thet stists in teh line and if u reel it off in teh loops your are spinning your line aswell.. try too put em on a spool or something and spin the spool towards or away form you not wrapping it around..
  2. hey dude from waht i have experienced casting some of my cats and dogs with my spey and skagit it keep it moving... even with a skagit u cant let them mega flies get down or else she wont really take off too well.. i had soem issues at teh show last year trying too chuck or even really turn over some larger 8"+ double double bunnies once waterlogged but with some practice and messing around i found i had too sort of skagit scandi cast em... i dont get the saem type of distance but im not really suprised and for what i use them for i only need 50+ feet max. but it all depends on teh rod. im using a 12'6" 8wt wiht a 600 grain 22' skagit i chopped down and usually only fishing 8-10' tips and a few feet of tippet.... i found once i got too long it was hard too get my loops turning over and opening up but that might jstu be me.... still havnt gotten it down but its definetly more than possible.. as for double overhanding teh stuff u can do it no problem.. i messed around iwth my 8126 and my loop yellow 9140...had a blast last spring at "sone lake" tossin 100 ish foot bombs with double and triple streamer rigs jsut too see what i could do and like gil said watch out.. almost put myself into next week a few times loaded em up with some big skittle sized splitshots too and was easily tossing what seemd like 10 lbs of lead.. jsut really crank on your back cast stab really high(its going too drop on yah regardless so u gotta do your best) waite for teh load and hit it hard going forward and duck if u think ur in trouble.... or jstu curl up into the fetal position hope that helps meng! u can see in this pic...... dotn hold your tip high like iu mentioned i totally destroyed one tip on ym yellow stipping at 11 oclock is.. more like halfway between 9 and 10 works way better. havnt had any issues since...
  3. that is some trippy ass'd casting.. practical or nto i gotta try me that cast! freakin dope stuff. thanks for posting dude.. some real talent forsure! looking forward too tossin the new rod down teh road!
  4. lmao yall wish meng! better hope them swedes can out compete the flames cuz its all u really got.. for talent that is
  5. yea that was a solid win! kip played pretty good... no freakin hope on that swede twins goal and camalleri played great! had soem huge penalty kills too
  6. skagit u can fish nymphs streamers or dries IMHO and i woudlnt worry about a poly tip.. it may help a bit but ive got friends who use skagits without em jsut like i use my scandi and do just fine.. that is unless u want too become a junkie...
  7. when i fish streamers and swing emergers boatman etc i fish em down and across.. traditianlly spey casting and double handed fishing has bin used with down and across presentations or straight across.. when i toss nymphs n indi's i fish em upstream and do what i normally do when fishing nymphs with a single hander. i use a tapered leader same length same corkie same nymphs only real differenct is i have a double handed rod instead of two.. teh rest stays the same. as for sinktip i fish em both single or double handed and usually urn only a couple of feet of heavy tippet like 10 -15lb might drop it down too 8 if i am swinging smaller nymphs... keep teh questions coming dude. and do some research on teh older posts.. theres tons too read and learn and when in doubt make a post.. tighltines!
  8. sick dude! same wuestion as mark.. what did u pick up? bin loving my multi reels so far after about a month or so and using em a dozen or more times! congrats!

  13. that is pretty intence... i didnt see many people on teh wood this year.. mind u i like too do a little billygoat scramble down too most of teh stretches i fish...
  14. ive demo'd this rod for wayne and quite liked it. like rick said its a fast action rod with a tip flex. i has some power through the blank and can turn over some pretty big nymph rigs and handles good sized streamers with ease. really likes it for the underhand casting style i prefer. definetly matches up with teh tfo's, lower end sages, loomis etc...
  15. grrrrrrrr i hate them redwangs... that second goal againt kip sucked!
