Here is my trick for removing the thread. I find it easiest to expand the tubing by squeezing the tubing from both ends. This releases the chinese fingers effect of the tubing. Using a sharp pointed...

The Sge RPL series is arguably the rod that put Sage on the map so to speak. Don't be afraid of pulling the trigger on any RPL rod. Even with the older technology they still cast better than many of...

The reel and spool you need is in the for sale forum.

Type three is not an inferior process at all. I'm sorry I came across like that. Type three is the best finish on the market today bar none. Look at the Abels and Tibors others suggested. My purpose...

Good question.

Type three hard Anodizing comes in only one color, black. This is highly corrosion and scratch resistant.
The process of coating in type three is very costly with a high rate of...

While Magnesium is the most Anodic take a look down the list a few places and you'll find Aluminum. Way down at the Cathodic range you'll find the various Titanium's. I call that the $10,000 reel...

Considering my profession, Machinist, I often find myself pawing over reels in an effort to determine the best bang for the buck on the market.

I have looked over many reels. One thing is...

If you are hunting trophys in the salt I'd suggest a double Bimmini twist.

I love that area can't wait to get back. Be shure to stop in for dinner at Jakes Steakhouse. Have drinks at the Floribama.

I have owned both the Beans baskets, collapsable and rigid. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the collapsable one. The thing is nothing but a tool for infinite tangles.
I now use the rigid...

Keep in touch. I got a 17' Whaler that prowl's around Saco Bay in search of the Stripers and Blues. I'd be happy to get you into some fish.

You will definately find Stripers, and Blues. Some very large fish call the Piscataqua River home that time of year. Hook up with the right guide and you might get a chance at a Schoolie Bluefin...

I second the L.L.Bean rod holder. Been around along time. Has definately passed the test.

The entire fly line and then some quite often with the 8wt. I'd say 75' with my 10wt while throwing a very large fly.
JC was right. Learn the double haul.

I had a 9'6" RPL 5wt. Used it for schoolie Stripers in the estuary backwaters near my home in Maine. What a wonderful rod.
I swapped with a guy from this site last year. I gave the rod he gave...

I am happy to see that I am not the only Sage RPL fan here. I wish Sage would bring them back.

Dave, I met and tied with Rick Sharp today at Eldrege Bros. fly shop, Cape Neddeck, Maine.
Rick mentioned his affiliation with NESFR. I stopped by their site and noticed your name mentioned there....

Lew don't feel too bad. I had the opportunity to purchase a Wedding Cake for $300 about ten years back.
I choked and chickened out on the purchase. I figure that ultimately cost me about $900.

I'll be up the road from you this afternoon. Knot tying class at Eldrege Bros. fly shop. Be there about noonish. I'll bring the case and Bamboo rod inside it if your interested. 934-8084 Pete

It is definately a System 3 reel. Nice Burgundy color. The guy produced a receipt for $600, the original price he paid for the reel.

First is about a fly rod made by the Kunnan company. Specifically a 10/11wt. rod. If I purchase it I'll be using it for Schoolie Bluefin Tuna.
Second is about a Scientific Anglers System 3 reel...

That is a Fin Nor #3 Direct Drive reel made by the Fin Nor Co. out of Miami Florida. It might be an early model of what would eventually become known as an Ahab. I'd say its no more than 10-15 yrs....

Where do you buy it? I been looking for some.

In July and August, in Maine, one has the real chance to hook up with 12-18lb Blues, in the 30-35" range. Pound for Pound they are the hardest fighting fish up here. At least for those of us that...

Dave, would it be o.k. to invite you up to Maine when the Stripers return? I hang with a couple guys that really enjoy surf fishing for Stripers. We'd like to show you around especially during the...
