I had to fill out an evalution sheet this morning for a product and after faxing it back one of their Rod people called me back on my answers. So I thought I would start a poll on what Great Lake Trib angler's want in a Float rod.
I just finished building 2 rainshadow 11'3" 10-20# RX7 blanks for salmon. they came out great, but when we hooked up on fish we could not land them. we lost 6 fish using bobber and skein never landing one. I was using 15# p-line hydrofloat with 12# leader. the other rod was set up with 15#...
I'm getting a new pin after selling my Sheffield this past spring. I was going to get a PF but never heard back from Adam, his orders probably filled up fast. So after spending that coin on other fishing junk i'm looking at something a little less pricey. My question is after handling both the Flow...
What hooks do you guys use to tie your micro jigs on? I'm using 1/32 oz #2 gami tube head jigs. I like them but can only find them in that size. Anyone have a favorite? They are unfinished, too. I tried painting them with nail polish but dont really like the outcome. Any paints you can recommend?
Not sure if this has been posted on here. Apologize if it has been It appears NFC has released their version of a float blank. Looks like Gary Loomis has teamed up with John Collina from JC custom tackle on the design. IMVHO, they should have just re-done the 2 piece 13 foot GL3. 13'6...

Hey guys what length of rod do you prefer while fishing cromers on the Salmon Riva ? I'm looking into purchasing a new float rod. Any input would be greatly apprieciated, Thanks.
I realize that float rods are all personal preference but i still like hearing other peoples opinions. I built a 13' rainshadow, nice but heavy when fishing for 8 or 9 hours. I have a 13' loomis which I really like and is not as heavy. Still not my dream rod I love the weight of the GLX 3...

need help with a salmon float rod. Im looking at getting a Raven IM6 11foot two piece that is rated for 8-15 lb test. I own two other raven rods and am happy with them, but was wondering if there are any other rods out there under 200 dollars in the 11 foot range that would be a better option. ...
Just picked up this line which is designed to be fish with top water baits bass fishing. Lucky Craft’s TW NL (Topwater Nylon) is a special line designed specifically with high-performance topwater lures in mind. TW NL features a hollow core for an “air-in-tube” line that floats on the surface....

Hi All, I just got into pinning (landed a 12lb female last week)....I have a float rod but only a conventional reel. I used my local shop's Okuma reel which was nice but I think I am going to go big and spend the extra coin on a nice unit, besides its my Bday soon. So the Islander is...
Just got a new kingpin royalty, gave it a spin, expecting a quit & long spin, but it makes a hissing sound. I've never heard what ceramic bearings sound like, and thought it might be that, but the pamphlet that came with the reel says abec 5 greased. It seems to start up fine and spin a while,...

I had the chance to get out to the Saugeen river this morning and since I hadn’t really been able to put the new St. Croix Avid 15’ to the test I was hoping to get at least one on. I fished the ice shelf at the first bend below the abutments and the flow was good and steady. About a half hour into...
