  2. Nice catch, Steve! What weight floating line do you use with Mike's TH? Thanks, Kib
  3. Is there a preferred casting instruction video for TH rods in the salt?
  4. I have a couple of 40 year old Ambassadeur 178 fly reels that still have the original 20# Micron backing. Never had a problem.
  5. I own or have owned several of the lines you discuss, and agree with your assessments. My go-to brand for numerous applications in NE and the tropics is Wulff, and I'll be interested in your opinion of their lines.
  6. This article is an interesting and useful gift to all of us. Thank you CaryGreene!
  7. Disregard. Fixed my old one.

  9. The foam flotation under the seats of my 12’ tin boat is crumbling into tiny balls that are lighter than air. Any suggestions on how to fix?
  10. His technique is also known as "constant tension" casting, closely related to the "Belgium cast". The fly line never stops to reverse direction as it does in "normal" casting, but instead travels constantly and doesn't lose momentum or energy.
