Wondered how / why that had happened

Congratulations!

Bart, You may find this thread quite useful. It's long, but Carl's thoughts are in line with yours (and mine). Cheers, Graeme Paul, in Carl's thread post #1 there appears to be an image missing; above the paragraph starting: "In the loop above you can see various casting faults." I know sometimes f...

Interesting video Bob, thank you. Most of those mandrels look to be finished rod length. I didn't pick up from Steve Rajeff's commentary whether multi piece rods, eg. 9' #5 4 piece, are rolled on four mandrels; or if the mandrel produces a 9' rod which is chopped into four pieces, then jointing piec...

Paul, I am much less intrepid, and a few years older, than you. I carry a spare bootlace, cable ties in a couple of sizes, antihistamine tablets, antihistamine cream, paracetamol, ibuprofen ... as you can see, I expect I am the thing most likely to break

I have a couple of older Loop Danielsson Evotec reels: LW 4seven and LW 6nine. They are excellent, robust reels: although heavy when compared with similar era Waterworks ULA F2 and F3. I agree with you Dan that with the Vossler AIR-One, or the Vossler Tryst, you will definitely catch more fish :) An...

Having read a translated article about TLT (http://www.flyrepository.com/boondocks/pages/TLT.pdf) I suspect the prescribed rod specification was written when bamboo or fibreglass rods were the standard. Why else would a 7’6” rod be more like a rapier/dagger than a 9’0” rod? In so many fields, we hum...

Have just been looking at the webpage for Sunray Stuart Crofts Dry Fly line https://sunrayflyfish.com/collections/micro-thin-upsell/products/stuart-crofts-entomology-dry-fly-line-micro-thin-furled?variant=31319769996 Q. The weights look light for their AFTM's. What weight should I buy for my rod? A....

Hey thanks for all of those replies. The short rod I have is a Scott F(ibreglass) 6’6”#3; the next is a quite poky Greys 8’6”#5. I do have a #3 DT line: I should see what I can do with that and those rods.

Vince, from having fished with Malik and having used his rod(s), is TLT tackle dependant, and if so, what tackle? I simply can't remember but is it: shorter, stiffer rod, lightweight DT line, lots of linespeed? Are all of these components necessary, or have you to been able to extract the essence an...
