I've caught several bass on the olive/orange with gold Flashabou.
This is the 2nd time in 2 days I've heard someone touting pink over white for stripers / hybrids. The first was from a friend of mine that just caught a lake record, 8.7#, hybrid Friday night. Me...
Chartreuse over white
Grey over white
I've worked in aerospace for 20+ years and always crack up when I hear or read "aerospace grade". Most reels are machined from 6061 alloy which is used very little for structural aircraft components,...
I've got one of the TFO cassette reels that I use on my 4 weight. Great reel for $50!!
I'm using a Teton Tioga 3 on mine with a WF3 SA GPX. You're gonna' love this little rod!!
I've got several TFO rods, Pro series, TiCr, and Teeny series. My absolute favorites are my 4 & 5 weight TiCr's and my 6 weight Teeny. I've also got an 8 weight Teeny that I haven't had the...
Nice fish! What hooks are using for your Gurglers?
FWIW I think this thread is geared towards trout fishing more than warm water which is where my experience lies. Normally I agree that you should use the rod specified line weight and would have with...
Several of my fishing buddies and I have rods built on this blank and we all fish WF3F lines on them. I fish a Rio Grande on mine, not sure what the other guys are fishing other than WF3F. I can't do...
The only thing I would say is that it's not the fastest boat out there nor is it likely the easiest paddle. All that weight capacity and stability come with a price. The other (minor)issue is don't...
I fished the South Llano here in Texas in May and while it isn't exactly white water it does have some chutes and such that you have to deal with. I didn't have any problem with the yak, I guess I'm...
I'm about your weight but a bit shorter (take a look at my user name!)and fish a Malibu X-Factor. It's likely not the fastest yak out there but it has a huge weight capacity and it's stable as a slab.
I use a GPX on my 5 weight TFO TiCr and fish warm water exclusively. One of my favorite flies is a cone head cactus chenille bugger with maribou tail tied on a #6 streamer hook, it's somewhat bulky...
I've got a 6 weight TiCr and a 6 weight TFO Teeny that I recently bought. Both are great rods but the Teeny is fast becoming my favorite of the two, just a bit slower than the TiCr but plenty fast...
I ended up going with the 340. Haven't had an opportunity to fish it yet but for the $$ spent I'm impressed with what I got.
It wasn't "Clouser'ed" but TFO repaired my TiCr 4 weight after I put my big thumb where it didn't belong while unjointing the rod. No questions asked either

Hey Joe just remember that anything worth doin' is worth doin' to excess! Just ask my wife!! I was a competitive shooter before stumbling into fly fishing and fly tying, all I did was trade one...
It's a bead head.
Another one I like was developed by one of our local guys who calls it "Bacon" as in everyone likes bacon.
Take a streamer hook, I use Mustad 9672's, add a brass cone head,...
Try the Hart's Ghost Minnow:

It's about half way down the page. This recipe calls...
Another vote for the TFO TiCr. I've got 'em in 4, 5, 6, and 8 weights and for the dollar spent they can't be beat. TFO's warranty is a thing of beauty as well. I broke a guide on my 4 weight within a...
Anyone have any experience with the TFO Large Arbor reels, specifically the 375?
I've casted Clousers on a 6 weight rod without a problem. I tie mine with the 1/50th eyes and on hooks up to #2. The best advice is what you've already been given, make sure your leader will turn...
I've casted the 3 weight but haven't fished it. It's slower than the Pro series if that gives you a point of reference. The local guys that have bought them seem to like 'em well enough and I don't...
FWIW, I spent a weekend on the South Llano river here in Texas a couple of weeks ago throwing #6 cone head buggers with a 4 weight TFO TiCr, which is fairly stout for a 4 weight, and it wasn't a bit...
