Its pretty easy to adjust the drag range on a cimarron.

As for the Orvis vs Ross thing, those are both good reels, I think the Orvis is cheaper and probablly a better ‘deal’, they are pretty comparable reels.

I might have some more of those kicking around somewhere, haven’t dug into those boxes in a while.

i’m not seeing that C70S D on there though.

As for large hackle, I dunno, I haven’t bought any in a while so I’m not aware of any deals out there at the moment.

For pretty close to the same price as the 34007’s the Mustad C70S D is a much sharper hook.

If there is a shop nearby where you can test any of these lines then I would do that, I mean, I like the stiffness of the Rio stuff but I also have a very agressive casting stroke.

Not enough time, sorry.

[Carter Simcoe]

hey, finally got stoned enough to listen to one of these.

[Carter Simcoe]

yeah, i think as a whole they probablly are stiffer than most of the SA lines.

[Carter Simcoe]

Where were you when you tried the lines Flatlander?

[Carter Simcoe]

well 20 lb you should still be able to pop pretty easily, especially with a 10 wt rod.

Nice fish.

I had the same thoughts when I looked at your pics, it does look like you guys are up around a lot of snags.

That Thin Skin crap is quite possibly the worst tying material I have ever spent money on.

[Carter Simcoe]

Hey, yeah, I’ve been around the Dan Blanton board a bit.

I suggested the wire for the possibility of Pike, not walleye.

This isn’t saying that they won’t hit them but I think that fish has the least appetite for a clouser deep minnow out of any of the large predatory fishes I’ve ever fished for.
