Hey Mike is this teachers' name public or maybe PM me. I'm also an old dog & recovering from an auto accident ... And thanks for all the TH info.

It was the Cortland SD I wanted - what's yr bottom price for the 2 ???

Thanks Suebert12, will pass on to my North Fork Anglers members

Respectively offer $50 for both the Rio & the Cortland - shipped thru PP ...

$10 pp - pm me, thanks

I could use it - $ ???

Interested - thanks ...

Just got a Rio Cranky & find that they don't sell the plastic holder by itself - used up my spares. Anyone got a bunch of old line holders - sell trade, etc ???

Take another look at Batsons, am building a 2 hand from a Batson RX6 spey rod blank 13 1/2 foot 9 weight 4 pc, ($50 from the bay) sort of bastardization of Red/Green's Pac Bay. Common Cents System testing after cutting 6" from the tip seems to be on the money. Just taped all the guides (Fuji Fazlites) and ready for some casting.

I have several Estuary & Universal AFAWs - one each built as spinners w/custom concept Fuji guides. And one factory Estuary w/black & red trimmed wraps which has dual rung guides (e.g. used for either spinning or conventional, a multiplier for Mike O). Nice rods (I'm a plugger), tho the ferrules can be a bit difficult.

I'll take it for $75 ... PP on the way.

Russian & printed - under 10 us & 5 to ship + he's got some other goodies ... Anyone want to share an order & the later USPS costs ??? Take a look at the FBI page & pm if interested.

Looking for a used fly fishing sling pack - had my dreams on a custom from Vedavoo, but no luck w/them. Need to carry a 5 lb oxygen concentrator (3-1/8"deep x 8-5/8"wide x 8-1/2" high) & some flies, etc. Something really cheap enough that I screw around with & retrofit - under $20, otherwise I’ll grab a new similar priced from the net.

What's the story w/the 12 wt rod ???

Red/Green & All - I do understand your issue w/EVA grips. I just ordered cork grips, tho if not still handicapped from an auto accident and not yet using power tools, would have tried syncork. The Batson F1369.4 label says 9 wt Spey Skagit 600-650 grns I cut 6" off the tip, taped some guides on & am getting 631.5 grains per CCS’s (153"/3=52") deflection, tip @ ~6.5" AFF and AA is below 65. See attached pics. And all - what do you know about the CCS Database ??? And are there reasonably equations like to get ERN/Grams=??? The link on Sameo Channel’s CCS calculators is not quite right, but I don’t speak/read Swedish, so maybe on my side ... And all thanks for the discussion - my latest immersion in the many ways the physics behind fishing rod casting is so similar & the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences between fly rods, long casting rods, spinning & conventional ...
