The rod that was built for me used Tuffleye. It seems to be fairly level, and since it's a one part epoxy, I know it wasn't the mixture that he screwed up. I've been reading on their website and...

Gents (and ladies),
Has anyone here had any experience using any of the available (Tuffleye, Loon brand, etc.) UV set epoxy products on their rods? I'm thinking of trying. I had someone build me a...
Bedlam,
I used to live in and around the west florida panhandle. In the pensacola area you can fish all over the place. I would take your 8wt and your standard fare of saltwater flies (clousers,...
I'm not far from Wrightsville.
Other than the obvious normal salty stuff (clousers, decievers, etc...) I would definitely bring along a few size 6 crab patterns in a dark brown or an olive. ...
Someone above recommended the Okuma Helios: bad choice. I had one that came apart after only 8 or 10 trips to the salt.
Battenkill Mid-Arbor comes highly recommended. If you can find the old...
Bump. Many of you are probably wondering how some guy named Okie_Noodler just suddenly appears on the scene with "Senior Member" or whatever it says, by my name, if no one has ever heard of me...
Friends,
Don't ask how I got the blank (a serious stroke of good luck) but I've got a 9' Orvis Helios blank that I'm about to build. It's the "Tip-Flex" model. It does not come with the high-speed...
I'd go as far south as i could. In January, most of the fish have gone offshore to make more fish. Still, the bays might have some promise on warmer days when the fish will come into the shallows...
In boricua, there are tarpon, snook, redfish, seatrout, peacock bass, and even a few bonefish. I think google is probably your best bet.
well done! you can put the rod in your teeth, says I.
Nice fish.
It's ok to hurt people and destroy their property but, DON'T DISTURB THE DAMNED FISH!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to copy this and forward it to my hippie sister-in-law. She's one of those vegan,...
Check your email.
Hey Brian,
I see you made it out! Nice job on that smack. How long did it take you to land her? I heard about that Gator from someone else on another board...funny.
Are you game for an outing...
I'm going to hire a guide in the next few days, for the first time in my life. I can remember hearing horror stories from my grandfather when I was a kid about guides who would show up drunk, or...
Flies went in the mail today.
Photos forthcoming.
I haven't heard a word from phesanttail65, so i'm assuming that he's out.
I got fishinfool's flies in the mail yesterday, and i'm distributing and photographing them today. They'll hit the mail...
If fishinfool's flies get here this afternoon, i'm going to mail it all on friday. If not, I'll wait till Saturday or Monday. Pics should be up soon at...
I got your decievers Leo. You guys will 'bout crap yourselves when you see how great these decievers look. Leo, we've got to get together so you can show me how to make these flies look so neat. ...
recieved another package of flies. some dandy looking crazy charlies.
I'm going to mail out all of the flies on friday, so if you haven't mailed yours yet, get on it.
hope you all enjoy what...
I made the spoon flies with gold mylar tubing.
I sort of followed these instructions: [url=http://flytyingworld.com/PagesK/kd-sf.htm:9a413]http://flytyingworld.com/PagesK/kd-sf.htm[/url:9a413]
...
Pick out a foam fly with lots of legs (I like a size 10 or 12), and then tie a nymph with some sort of sparkle on it (go with a size 14 or 16 here) as a trailer. This will drive them wild. This...
They told me to get spoon flies, so I learned to tie them. I've been down to the salt near Freeport three times now, and all I've caught were two small specks.
Take a chartruse clouser minnow,...
here's a couple of pics:
you can see more baby pics, as well as my fishing pics at [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/notinponce:e9f0a]www.flickr.com/photos/notinponce[/url:e9f0a]

Castwell: where did your comments go? Don't tell me that you've never thought to yourself "I wonder how this fish stacks up to that state record..."
Brholka, catching those fat crappies is fun. ...
Alright folks. Sorry I haven't updated recently, but my wife was having a baby.
I'm still missing flies from a few people. Today is the tenth. Let me know when you can get them in, so that...
