I have an airframe that's worked well for me. Although I haven't caught anything that's distorted the graphite frame yet. Still, when I do catch that reel distorting fish I'll be happy with the service it's provided me until that point.

Nice shots.

How could you tell the parrot was high?

I think the last time I bought some it was at Jo-ann's fabrics. Craft/sewing stores will likely be a decent bet.

Sounds like a blast, I'll go (work schedule pending of course). Beer. Flies. Just about perfect. :)

Jealous!? :P Don't you know it! I can never find just the right shade to match my evening gown. BFW - I use various colored nail polishes to paint jig heads (no really, honest). Of course I never fish with them. Strictly fly rods for me. :). I'm also a person of large stature. But I get some pretty...

In addition to Sally Hanson's Hard as Nails clear, I use Cover Girl "Boundless Colors" and Wet-N-Wild "Wild Shine". Gold glitter in one, silver glitter in the other ... cool stuff. And I can confirm Gil looks very pretty when he uses this. He even coordinates the glitter with hi...

I've used Sally's product for quite some time and have never had a problem. It even holds up to all the barracuda that choose to bite my flies when I'm fishing for something else. Another great adhesive is Fletch-Tite. It's an epoxy for securing fletching to arrows. Absolutely amazing for gluing pla...

I've hosted a few dollar store swaps in the past. They're a blast and it's pretty amazing the patterns that come out of them. Have fun!

I'll echo snukerfreak, (Hey we use the same stakeut poles, why not the same shoes?). I found the older model of Simms sneakers at BPS on clearance for $30 about two years ago. Love em.

Just to add to the simplicity thread,

I use my old ski pole with a clip attached and some line. Definitely doesn't bend. Holds really well. Haven't found a downside yet. Cost basically 0 since it was my backup set of poles and I never get to ski anymore. I just cut the basket at the end off.
