Re: Evaluating the Haul

Interesting stuff, Walter.
Thanks for posting it.
More food for thought regarding the role/importance of translation in a fly cast.

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

Excuse my naivety but isn’t there a problem with defining tracking in terms of the tip? The tip is an intermediary point. It’s path is determined not only by the rod below it and the direction of force application to the rod, but also the direction of force against the tip exerted by the line’s iner...

I don’t trout fish and I’d never heard of the man but I found this a thoroughly enjoyable documentary ( jarring add interruptions aside) and thought some of you guys may as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4126&v=D8cL8JsqGpQ&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stripersonli...

Re: Guide sizes

I build all my rods with single-foot guides, Ti framed with SiC inserts. I love them and won't build with anything else if I have the choice. Yes, the chances of getting a real clusterfuck are increased with these guides and a big fish, but I'm anal about line management because of that. So far, I ...

Re: Hello from SW Florida!

Hi Jon Sounds like you live in the right place to fish and have now found the right place to learn. Consider getting a HT6 blank and building yourself what is probably the best rod to learn on ever. A joy to cast and fish. No matter how good you get it will keep up with you and just keep on giving. ...

Re: New SA clear lines

Screen shot of a post by SA’s R&D manager on another forum. IMG_4100.png I think these, particularly the $150 smooth version will sell. I’ve not used a clear floater and my casting suffers from reduced visual feedback with clear intermediates, but certainly I’ve spooked plenty of bonefish with t...

New SA clear lines

Just saw these.
Talk about price shock, however.

Re: Fly Rods - slow or fast action

Is loop stability related to its angular momentum?
Smaller loop, less angular momentum, less stability?

Re: Issue with marketing

I think, Paul, you’re being a bit unfair to Orvis. Sure you broke a bunch of their 1st generation Helios’ but the series has been through a number of redesigns since. Doesn’t Bernt Johansson use a Helios3? Seems like he was in the video when he won the Sexyloops PUALD competition several years ago. ...
