Re: Bright Red Double Taper

I can only imagine - my guess would be either Air-Stool or the forum (or Paul) offended the other, one thing led to another and so it became the brand who must not be named... :D (as long as no sneaky lawyers were involved...) Guy from the onlineshop hasn't answered my mail yet, but I guess I'll jus...

Bright Red Double Taper

Hi guys, Does anyone remember those very bright red double taper line for teaching, that was made in a small batch (maybe even an SL member initiated it?) quite a few years ago? It came in a cheesy but funny packaging with a skull on it "Ultra Pitsford Pirate Fly Line; SKB fly fishing; Made in ...

Distance Casting - unintentional curve

I've never thought my tracking could be THAT far off - not like off only a super experienced distance caster could spot, more like ridiculously off... but I'm also quite happy about that now.

Distance Casting - unintentional curve

Just taped me this morning and whilst from the side everthing looked gorgeous, the linethrowing equvalent of a ballet dancer at the Viennese State Opera, the frontal view was very revealing! Backcast is directed way too far to the right. Forwardcast compensates a bit for it tho, by being aimed a bit...
