I have used that for several years and love it. It seemed heavy in hand but once mounted on my vest I can't feel it. The only problem is that occasionally the magnet will grab nippers, hemostats and...

I also put loops at either end of pieces of it. I carry several pieces of different lengths to quickly put a sinking head on a floating line. (The batting helmet while using it is a good idea.)

I just heard that a big one was caught in a net at where the Potomac empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Apparently salt water doen't deter them.

Shadow box. Nice old flies that deserve preservation.

My oldest, Infantry master sergeant, has been to Afghanistan three times and Iraq twice. His younger brother, also Ranger, Infantry, went to Iraq in 2006. I know what you are feeling and my prayers...

Fer cryin' out loud...Ya gonna cast to a fish 30' away and need and $800 rod to do it?

Tomark! We agree on something!

I apologize for sidetracking the tread with my post. What I related really was traumatic to me at age 18 in the back of a Buick. I thought I might need shots.

I was attacked by a rabid beaver once, in College Park Md. Phys. Ed major as I recall.

The reel, being USA indicates the rod is early 70s since Pflueger moved to Japan not long after that. Not conclusive, tho. (If the reel says "Akron" on it, its more valuable than those made in...

I have never understood how you can get dryer than gin on the rocks.

Here's the column that I had in our local papers this week. Please note that Virginia did not secede over slavery -

If you're dealing with that shop, there isn't much we can add except Mossy is some kind of tough. If you fish Suzy Q, when you get to the "falls" look across the pool below them and beyond the bar in...

Want retro? Buy a Medalist...or better yet, snare an American Medalist off ebay. Of course, you can always go tuna can Martin.

Beats the h*** outta being there yourself.

If you raise tomatoes, they make decent stakes.

It's going to be heavy as somebody has said, but, if you want a long heavy-line rod, that's a good price for a good rod.

(Marty...You haven't seen Madison 2/1 61/2 for 4 wt #7999 around anywhere...

I have my sites on a Winston Vapor...4 piece, 4 wt., 8'. How good are they?

Thanks. I have an early 1970s Medalist that clicks louder on the retrieve than on going out. I never noticed it until I got some additional Medalists a coupl eof years ago. That pawl thing might be...

I told ya elsewhere...That's a Bronson Royalist.

I have read the Sage thread. You buy a great XP and then, they come up with another and we are supposed to buy that? What's up with that? Reminds me of golfers buying new drivers to brag about at the...

It would have been polite to say, "No, thanks."

Those old big rods aren't much use on the little brookie streams in the Blue Ridge.

I fish all three and like graphite the least, probably because the fast action is contrary to my nature. I have also had graphite rods fail on me, literally explode in my hands for no particular...

Man. has miniaturization come of age! The last electric fishing rig I saw was on the front of a game department jon boat and involved two prongs stuck in the water about five feet apart. Did that...
