I have a Scott T2H 1085/4 rod that I have not used for about 10 years. I would sell for $350, shipped. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,

I have used carbon rods that are sold for making high-performance kites. Here is a website that sells them:

The ProWrap thread is considerably stiffer than Gudebrod thread. Not nearly as supple. I don't remember it flattening any more than Gudebrod. It has been a few years since I have used either......
I worked for a seismic contracting company, Geophysical Service Inc (GSI), which no longer exists.

Bill,
Thanks for posting this link to a great video. I worked in this area for a year in 76-77 on a seismic exploration crew. We caught a lot of barramundi on gear, but I don't remember any black...
I too hope this is just an April Fool's joke. I will not be using Facebook.
Thanks for hosting a great forum.

PM sent to purchase this rod.

Terry,
Thanks for the help. I will put in a tide and follow your directions. I had just about given up on it.
Thanks!

I updated it this morning and it only seems to work for the TIDES option now. There does not seem to be any way to access river flows any more.
Tony,
I caught a queenfish on Christmas Island about 5 years ago. I was fishing a large sandy shallow flat and thought I cast to a bonefish about 60 feet away. I knew it wasn't a bonefish when it...
There is a heat-shrink tubing that is made for fishing rod grips. I know you can get it at Mudhole.com. Some over on Dan Blanton's site have used it and have offered suggestions for how to use it...
When I went about 4 years ago, I took 7, 8, and 10 rods and spares. I didn't have any shots at trevally over about 20 lbs, so the 10 was the right size. I have heard others say that a 10 is the...
I have a Sage SALT 12 weight that I built and a factory TFO BVK 12 weight. The TFO rod feels much lighter in hand and has a softer tip. It is much easier for me to cast than the SALT. The butt of...
Tony,
I went about 3 1/2 years ago. I thought I had a friend going with me, but he backed out, so I went on my own. I stayed at The Villages and there were four others staying there at the same...
Tony, I don't know about Paul's experience with this, but I was told by the guides, "Gold eyes only!". There were two flies that they reached for most often, one with an orange crystal flash body...
We had few bugs at the Villages when I was there. The only time I noticed them was while we had beers and sashimi before dinner. I don't think I ever used bug repellant. They set out a "make your...
I went 3 1/2 years ago and stayed at The Villages. The food was very good, as were the guides. Accommodation is very basic, but was fine for me. There were only 5 of us there that week, with no...
I have a TFO BVK 12wt, new with the plastic still on the grip. These sell for $300 new now. I would sell this one for $240, shipped including PayPal fees. Comes with a sock, but no tube.
Thanks,...
Ditto! Tilly makes the best full brim hat that I have found. Great sun protection without being too hot.

If you want a rod to REALLY shoot line, build it with a full set of ceramic insert guides. I built a Sage TCX this way and the difference between it and the normal wire guides is amazing.

I have owned an Olympus tough for about 3 years now. It has been a good reliable camera. My only complaint is that it is slow to take pictures. I really like the waterproof feature, having drowned...
I have two rods that you could consider:
Sage SLT 9' 7wt 4pc. With sock and tube. Very good condition.
Loomis GLX 9' 7wt 4pc. "DEMO", with sock and tube. Very good condition.
Either one,...
Hi Brian,
I am interested in this reel and spool. How much are you asking?
Thanks,
Ted
I would like to echo Tim's comment about buying a rod from flygut. I bought one when he first posted on another site and have been very happy with the deal and with the rod.
