But, be careful with the Gink products. I don't remember the exact name, Xink, Zink...?...

You don't like time changes? Move to my state.....Arizona does NOT change it's time!
Your watch will be accurate AZ time all year long.

Thanks...
Sorta on topic....icw dressings and Gink. Never used a sinking treatment on a fly before. Bought some Xink? Zink?..whatever it is. One day decided to try it. It says once you apply this to your fly...

Jack,
Thanks for providing access to HideHunter. I have sent him my addy.
Maybe now I will wrap and epoxy the guides on the rod I bought 1.5 years ago. After I have seen it done I may go to...
Jack,
Thanks for this post. Hope it works out. I have never seen a rod building video nor do I have one. I will be one of the first to request.

If you buy some liver flavored or some other kind of fish lure liquid at...

Jeremy,
This is POJ. I hereby would like to make a public, for all to see, my apology for getting angry with you at a past post. I have read some of your posts since and you obviously know your...

I Jimbo the bimbo have asked that question several times of the old timers up here. Which reel. Most said the reel is only something to hold the line. When they build a new rod they look for the...
I'll loan you a rod. <grin> you can't win now. Just kidding. You might want to visit a Sportsmans Warehouse store if you haven't been in one. Especially the fly fishing and tying section.

I have to ask. I am such a rookie at fly tying. Still trying to tie a good plain old wooly worm. I see and hear about several different whip finishing tools. I have a Mattarelli only. I learned how...
Thanks all for the info. Can't believe you would go to the trouble to sandpaper your hands to hand whip. Probably not all that bad but sounds .....rough. <grin> I learned to do it by hand.....but I...
Agree with all the above. Just FYI there are three Sportsman's Warehouse stores in the big Phoenix valley. So depending on where you are, you may want to visit the one in Goodyear/Avondale, or the...
