  1. I purchased the Monic Striper Elite intermediate short 10wt (380 grain) for primary use with an Echo Boost Blue 9’ 10 Wt rod. I’ve used it once and truly like the performance and casting of the line. The Echo Boost Blue is a fast rod and was able to easily cast the line into wind with a large fly. Yes, it did coil a bit, but I’ve yet to find a line that doesn’t coil. I fix all coiling by untwisting the line after a long cast. I bought the short head for 2 handed overhead casting use with an 8 wt Redington 11’6” Dually. I’ve yet to try the line with the 2 handed rod. The head is a light gray color and on first use seems a bit more buoyant than my previous Airflo intermediate striper line. I also use the Monic Henley Phantom Tip floating lines in 6, 9 and 11 wts for various rods. I’m impressed with Monics’ line quality, casting and durability.
  2. I would recommend Vedavoo Gear. A small Massachusetts based company, in business for 10 years, can make a very durable sling pack in meet your needs. I have three, two smaller ones for freshwater, and their beast sling for salt. Give Scott Hunter, the founder, a call and he'll make sure you get exactly what you need. I've been using mine with no issues for over 8 years.
  3. I’ll take it. $175. PayPal ok?
  4. Congratulations @DAQ! You got me into my first (and only landed) Albie 3 years ago and I was so close to you on this outing (one beach over), I should have called BEFORE our trip ;-). Glad you found some and even better on glass.
  5. Ok, let's make it $140 via paypay shipped. Thanks!
  6. Where are you shipping from? I'm in Massachusetts.
  7. This might be a long shot, but give Vince at Wiley's Flies in Ray Brook, NY a call at 518-891-1829 or Charlie at the Evening Sun Fly Shop in Pepperell, MA at 978-433-4910. Both of these shops are Korker's dealers and they may have old stock of soles that they could sell you. Bear's Den too.
  8. Unfortunately, the felt soles I have are not that Korkers sole style.
  9. Post a picture of what you’re looking for. I might have these for you.
  10. Nice tie and thanks for the detailed SBS! This is very similar to the Dahlberg Flashdancer but with a rams wool head instead of a deer hair head. I just tied a bunch of flashdancers and may want to add a few with the rams wool head to the arsenal.
  11. Thanks for putting up that post from my blog, @HillTop. If anyone wants a direct link, DM me.
  12. Not to derail Colton's excellent customer service, but I would also give a shout out to TFO and Beulah. Both companies have provided prompt & cost-effective service for out of warranty repair (Beulah) / replacement (TFO) of broken rods.
  13. Monic fly lines are also PVC free. I just purchased their Henley Clear Phantom Tip floating line for use in the tropics and the upcoming striper season. I performed well in the tropics and hope will perform equally as well in cooler temperatures. It's rated for use at 45°F & above.
  14. Thank you @NoVisibleLeader I'm in!
