    Here are the RIO weights, if anyone is curious.

    Lines that cast good, and lines that fish good can be two separate things. Piscifun has a 30.00 line that casts and floats like a dream..... but it is as stretchy as a rubber band. Ok if all you do is fish glo-balls at the outlets in the trout park I suppose......but a definite hindrance otherwise.

    Rod blank construction has improved, overall, to the point that IMO there's no longer an advantage to owning ultra high-end rods. Ditto with reels. Line, on the other hand...... not so much. You still have to spend 100.00+ to get a truly decent line.

    I hope the ICE agents get him.

    Cocaine was a shelf item at the drug store. So what's that tell ya. 😅

    It's that way for almost everything I order from East of the Mississippi River. Recently had boat seats ordered from Tennessee that went to Phoenix Az., then to Omaha, Neb. then FINALLY to Gravois mills, Mo.

    I don't have any experience with the smaller Suzuki's since 1995 Their older 2-stroke models were fine units. Suzuki & Honda do not share technical info with guys like me, so your nearest Suzuki dealer (if you can find one) would be the place to inquire.

    Is the Suzuki a short shaft model? (measurement from mount to cav.plate needs to be 15-17").

    At first glance I thought this ... was one of my great aunt Elizabeth's fruit cakes 😅

    There was some obvious & undeniable stocking between 1987-1998

    One might fall out of the sky tomorrow.....but currently I don't have one.

    One of the greatest things about my line of work is that I often get gifted some really great eats😋 Any tips on preparing this here Moose Tenderloin?

    And that's all that counts 👍 Hey, the fact that you fished that day, and I didn't...... I'm spanked ! 😅

    Been using these cheap 1/2" thick cutting boards for years. Attached with clear RTV. Never have had one fall off 👍 Don't try cutting it with a jigsaw though..... it'll melt right back together behind the blade. Cut with a hack saw.

    I've settled on a simple fur strip behind any type of muddler head. Fast water/Slow water/Still water.......For ME that gets bites consistently. Regardless of species. Spank me with a ZC, any day, and I'll buy you dinner & drinks. 😊 That Cougar does look better in the vise though....No doubt.
  17. fishinwrench
    You have done a fine job there, looks great👍 But of all the streamer patterns I've ever worked on, I gotta say THAT ONE has been a bonafide loser for ME. Can't even get a White bass to eat one during the peak of the spawning run. 🤷‍♂️
  18. fishinwrench
    Right on 👍 The "FF" in the model # stands for "Fenwick Ferrulelite". Early '80's I think.

    If you ever decide to part with that sweetheart.....Please lemme know 😘

    My very first flyrod was a 806 brown Fenwick with a 6wt. Level line. That one you have has a nicer reel seat on it 👍 I fished that rod for about 10 years.....then traded it to a guy for a Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle (that surprisingly was a TACK DRIVER). Does that one have metal ferrels on it ? That's the only thing I didn't like about mine.....and I'm not sure why, because it felt and casted really nice, even with the crappy line.

    Same ! Didn't even lock the truck either. One day, after school, we even threw clay pigeons and shot them in the school parking lot..... with our shop teacher! He had a sweet over/under, and had built a hand thrower that would throw doubles.

    When I was a kid our neighbor had an old Willy's Jeep. When we'd get a big snow he would tow 5-6 of us neighborhood kids around the streets of town on a big sled. Man that was FUN ! A fella would go to jail for life ("endangering the welfare") if you did that NOW. 🙄

    The jury is still out on the health factor, I think...... There's 1/2 cup of butter on that plate 😅
