  • TFO. FW - Fly/Spin

    Been looking at TFO offering a combination fly /spin 6'0 med flex rod was wondering if anyone has any experience with this combo rod, I've handled combination rods b4 but they didn't feel like a fly rod or spinning rod, understand it was built on a blank developed by Joe Robinson who wrote…

  • What rod length do you prefer?

    I have used ultralights for years and I started out with the usual 5 footers. They work great and they surely have their place. However, the past year or so I have stepped up to rods measuring between 7 to 8 feet long. I feel that they have definitely improved my overall feel of the bite and…

  • What makes UL truly UL?

    I got to thinking about this from a reply I made in the rod length discussion. With my most recent line replacement, my lightest line from a specified pound test perspective is 6# and that is SpiderWire which is officially rated at about half the actual breaking strength according to most tests. I…

  • Keeping line from tangling fishing UL

    I have been UL fishing for years and still have issue with this. I try to make sure I don't put line on loosely, but every now and then I let a twist loop stick out and sure as the world it gets caught on the next cast and I get the bird's nest. Carefully bring it back in untwisting loops and…

  • KNOTS

    What knots do you consider to be  good knots? strength wise, in ease of tying, etc.Some lures, such as jigs, do better tied with a loop knot.  Do you have a do-all knot that you chose?  Do the types of water structure you fish cause you to change your line size?

  • MM Minnow youtube link

         This is a version of a minnow imitation that really works well. Will catch about anything that will chase a minnow. This one is tied with marabou rather that deer hair. I fish a 9 1/2 foot 3wt fly rod so I like to tie these in sizes 10 and 12.  Tie a few of these and see if they won't put a…
