    It was a joke. ill received, apparently.

    The chemo pills they wanted to put me on, to treat my little lip ordeal, was going to make my saliva, tears, and piss TOXIC. And that's why I elected not to go that route. Poisoning my entire body over a 1/2" piece of upper lip was not an option I was comfortable with.

    Sorry for taking the conversation temporarily away from hearing-aid drama....and back to fishing, but I was just curious what they were biting on. 👍 No major Cicada hatch up there this year? 😅

    So, what color Mop Fly did you catch them on ?

    The leader is not "twisted from the start". Not at all. At no time during the construction is any part of the monofilament twisted. Hence the importance of letting the ends spin freely as you are furling the strands together. If you didn't then they WOULD BE twisted.....and the finished leader would not lay out straight.....it would be forever in a tangled mess. As you say.....You're just not smart enough to "get it". 😅 And that's fine. I'm obviously not smart enough to build a Gurgler that doesn't spin the tippet up into a knotted ball of $#!t. 🤷

    Amen to that ! I went to my last concert a long time ago. I don't care who it is..... I'll never stand asshole to elbow in a crowd ever again, for anything.

    Right on, brother 👍 You asked what kinda leader I used.....I was just telling ya. 😊

    To each their own 👍

    Spinning a butt section with anything heavier than 14# mono, will fly through the air like a stick. Just doesn't work. I don't care for solid mono butt sections because if they get a kink in them you can't get the kink out very easily. Hand spun butt sections lay out nicely.....just like an extension of the fly line, and do not get kinked or coiled-up like solid heavier mono leaders.

    Yeah I wasn't impressed with those at all. The noisiest, hell raisingest, popper head I've ever used.....is this one right here Nothing short of a clacking buzzbait makes more commotion than this bad boy. And the tooth marks and tattered appearance are proof that it works 😉 That tightly cinched down waist....and the GOOGLY EYES.... is a major player. 👍

    I spin my own up out of 8-10-12 lb. Mono.(Trilene XL) Then add 2-3' of flouro tippet. Total length is 8-9 ft. I like a 70/10/20 taper. When using sinking lines I just use straight flouro 8-12 lb.test.

    From the looks of that place I'd guess that they are well insured. A hurricane wiping it out would be like hitting the lottery. 👍

    I have figured out plenty of them WITHOUT using the computer diagnostic program......but if I have other stuff to do I'm not gonna put myself through that. To be honest, there's a good chance that the diagnostic program will not point you DIRECTLY in the right direction.....but that's just the way of life in this business. Welcome to my world 😉

    Gurglers are a killer fly......but OMG they twist up a leader like nothing else during the cast. I'd fish them a lot more if it wasn't for that.
  15. fishinwrench
    Can we call them "spinners", or is that improper terminology? 🤔
  16. fishinwrench
    Again......It is a computer controlled system. Take it to a dealership and have them plug-in and run their diagnostic program on it.

    Here's my vote(s) .

    I don't know either, but old-school cork out-fishes foam or Styrofoam bodies. 👍
  19. fishinwrench
    I'm sorry. Glad it's you, and not me. 😅
  20. fishinwrench
    It's never been when I thought....."Boy, it would sure feel good to be soaking wet right now".

    Man, you are really taking me to the confessional today ! 😞 I've lied. I've trespassed. I've experienced Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, and probably every single one of the seven deadlys while fishing. I'll be tying flys & loop knots for Satan after I'm done breathing this air. That's for certain. 😥 Regardless of the multiple baptism's.

    And I'll bet she will be equally as effective as modern doctors. 👍

    I can't even remember when the last time was that I baited a hook with a live worm. Somehow I even skipped right past that when introducing my kids to fishing.
  24. fishinwrench
    Yo, get these moderators outa here and I'll REALLY clean out the rif-raf. 😉

    A book can not be either moral or immoral. People live by it. And judge by it. Therefore......
