Up until this year, I used a 6wt for my bass fishing. I switched to 7wts, because I felt like I had more power to crank them out of the weeds. Anyway, I tossed big 1/0-2/0, hair bugs with a 6wt. I...

I'm just wondering. Could it be the casting motion required to throw big bugs and streamers, and not the weight that is causing the pain/fatigue. Just a thought since saving a few ounces is really...
It could be you're not seating the knot correctly. When you have all the overhand knots looped, the tag ends, and standing ends, ALL need to be pulled evenly. If you don't, the knot won't seat...
If you are camping in Reedley, then you are at the very downstream end of what could be considered "trout water". They plant trout at the Cricket Hollow picnic area/boat ramp. It's only in the summer...
I have the older model Wetlands. I chose them over the Outfitters, because the fit much better. I wore holes in the outer fabric, in less than a season. I had one of the sole straps come off, and the...
Well'p, opposite end of the spectrum, i've used an type 8, 8wt Outbound, on a 9wt rod. The results are good enough, that I continue to switch back and forth from an 8wt to 9wt rod. The 9wt rod seems...

Works well on pretty much any bass "fly", but you have to...
I use Kelly's style of streamer fishing, with a weighted fly, on a _floating_ line. I will add split shot to the leader if I feel I need more depth. Cast upstream, make a downstream mend, twitch and...
Strange. I've had the opposite happen to me. They will call me about a backorder situation, and ask me if I still want the item. I'll usually say yes, and just not worry about it. I will get it when...
