    Re: How beefy is a 6 wt?

    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...

    Re: How beefy is a 6 wt?

    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...

    Re: Triple Surgeon's Knot: Having Trouble

    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...

    Re: Kings River CA

    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 use the type 8, on my 8wt. I also use it while float tubing/pontooning. As others have already said, it performs best for me, with a little overhang. Since the "head" is so long, it take some...

    I would second the comments about the Okuma Sierra drag. I'd rather have a click and pawl reel, rather than deal with the Sierra's drag. IMO, The Battenkill, or SA reel is a much better choice.
