Apparently, the MARRYAT MP-Travel vise has been discontinued.
Don't know whether that's the end of the line for Marc Petitjean-deisgned vises, or if a new and better model is in the works!

Jeff,
Thanks. I guess we need to create more demand for barbless hooks and get those unit costs down!
BTW, I visited your website looking to learn more about the question of down-eye vs....
Jeff,
Barbless hooks frequently are more expensive than barbed hooks. Are barbless more expensive to make, or is the price simply a factor of market demand?
BTW, thank you for your...
Jeff,
Thank you. I'll review these, and I look forward to yours.
Cheers,
J Castwell,
The reason I created a new thread is that I feel it is a distinct topic that would get lost in the SLF thread.
Does that really warrant an "anger" icon from you as the...
Ducksterman,
Yes, thank you, I saw that reference in my SLF thread. So, I decided I needed to learn more about this material.

OK. I need an education on seal fur.
Is it legal in the US? If so, under what conditions?

Davy Wotton developed SLF a number of years ago and it was quite a hit then, as there wasn't much synthetic dubbing on the market.
I'm getting back into fly tying after many years, and am...
What about Kamasan hooks? I don't believe anyone has mentioned them. I believe they are quite popular in Europe and the UK, and I've seen them recommended by some very experienced UK and European...
We've all seen testing (done by both amateurs and engineers) on the various brands of tippet on the market, but I don't recall seeing any extensive testing on hooks. Are the top name brands really...
Thanks for your replies.
Any thoughts on Partridge hooks? As I've been reading to prepare for getting back into tying, I've studied some UK fly books and recipes. And , of course, Partridge...
How would you rate the quality (irrespective of price) of the various brands of hooks for freshwater uses? Who's at the top of your list? Who's in the middle?
Where is Partridge, Tiemco, Mustad...
What I'm about to say may be a terminal offense and get me banned from this Board for eternity, but the question is a fair one and an obvious one. And, by the way, I have no affliation with either...
I didn't know that. Thank you. I'll look into it.
Cheers,
I'm in search of a new 5wt or 6wt Winston Boron IIx rod in a 9' or 9.5' length. I you know of any great deals on such a rod, please e-mail me.
Anyone have any reports from Denver regarding any new Diamondglass rods for this year? Are they modifying the rods? Their lineup of rods?
Thanks.
What is your favorite line for the Diamondglass 8.5' 4wt 3pc rod? I'm about to become the owner of this rod and it will need a new line.
Thanks.
