Bill Archuleta is the best in the business.
I'm sure he can help you and he is a really nice guy.
I have sent him reels that I tried to work on myself and made a mess of it. (Just sort of sent him...

Anyone know how to find Terrain Mode on Google Earth or some way that the name of streams and rivers would show on the Google Earth maps ???

Sorry, but I would have just pointed the rod at him and said you won, instead of throwing $1000 worth of equipment overboard. Never knowing if you would be able to retrieve it or not.

I am looking for an Abel Standard Series Big Game # 3 Unported reel.
Does the name Bogdan ring a bell ???

If I were you, I would switch to 20 pound backing. You could probably get almost 200 yards on the reel. After all there are not many coral outcroppings in Florida so...

I doubt that Hans can get any reimbursement for cloths and lodging.

Let see: A spool of Orvis Mirage Fluorocarbon tippet material goes for $9.95 for a 40 meter spool of material from 7X-0X.
That?s about 120 feet or 1440 inches.

Actually you don?t use up much of the tag at all. Maybe three inches.
You pull the tag off the tool and then the knot slides down to the eye of the hook.
I would consider that...
I have been playing around with my Tie-Fast Tyer. Using it to tie on flies as per the instructions.

On an upland hunting trip this year, my cousin brought along a buddy who mentioned doing deals with this outfit. He had bought a half dozen items from them and said that they were reliable.
