Ha ha, those rods look industructable, awesome.

Good for New York, I think you deserve it.

[Carter Simcoe]

the two of us are always agreeing huh?

[Carter Simcoe]

If I had it all to do over again I would have started with different “gaps”.

[Carter Simcoe]

Just got your email…

[Carter Simcoe]

Now thats a good point.

[Carter Simcoe]

Yeah well I’ve got a line on these models:

No. 7

[Carter Simcoe]

That reminds me of this one I took a while back.

[Carter Simcoe]

Hell the no. 4 retailed for $200 so you’ll probablly be able to get it for even less.

[Carter Simcoe]

Sorry to keep bringing this to the top but I think it makes more sense than starting new threads everytime about reels that Steve and I might be the only ones who give a damn about.

[Carter Simcoe]

Well I would say that Froghair has got a great deal LESS stretch than mono.

[Carter Simcoe]

No, Dunfly is right, but you have to keep in mind he is using larger tippet than you are.

[Carter Simcoe]

I know what you mean, I could fly to Brownsville and back two times for what its about to cost me to drive.

[Carter Simcoe]

I’m in Little Rock right now, I fish for stripers, gar and stuff in the river here in town and smallies up in the ozarks.

[Carter Simcoe]

Where are you from?

[Carter Simcoe]

Unless I’m completely blind it didn’t at the time the holes didn’t appear to have been threaded so I didn’t try to put the screw in there, maybe I should have.

[Carter Simcoe]

Well here’s 100 Yards for around $12 if anyone needs some .013 for some reason (smaller than 0x).

They had a few other, more standard, sizes but sold out.

[Carter Simcoe]

If you really want to know that Berkely Vanish line isn’t 100 % flourocarbon.

[Carter Simcoe]

Hey Steve this is cool:

I was thinking when I had your reel apart that you could design the backside of that drag knob to hold spare screws but aparantly those holes are allready threaded for them and either you or the previous owner has allready used it.

Oh, I just bought some 12 wt lines real cheap in order to make myself buy the reel and a new rod.

[Carter Simcoe]

I’ve found some, thanks for looking anyway.

[Carter Simcoe]

No BD, I’ve never used them but I think you might have a good point, once I busted a bunch of guides on the rudder to my kayak which I had forgotten to pull up out of the water while I was trying to land a big redfish that decided to make a run around the back.
