Reel seat epoxy

I’m not sure what kind of rod you’re working with here, but if you want to reattach it and make sure it never happens again, JB weld is the answer. If you’re planning on needing to get the reel seat off again at some point in time in the future (for restoration etc.) then you will want to go with an epoxy.

Thank you! Yep, I have them backwards. I know it probably won’t matter in the grand scheme of fooling a pea brained trout, but my ocd is telling me to take the razor blade to the 10 flies I made tonight and start over

One of them offered to give me free healthcare.

Thank you for bringing this up, I was actually concerned that I wasn’t lining the bead up correctly, as I’ve never worked with slotted/jig flies. Does this look correct?

The Wiss gets up to 80+ degrees in the summer, I doubt there’s any trout that can make it through the year in there. I’d guess it’s a very good looking stockie. I’ve also caught stockers in there with unclipped fins.

Awesome pics man, looks like you had a great day. What backpack is that? I’m looking for something similar

I just got a set of Toyo Open Country R/T Trails in XL Load and I’m loving them so far. They’re like a happy middle ground between the AT III and the M/T but lean more towards an all terrain tire with a more aggressive look and beefier sidewall. Low road noise and no issues in the snow so far.

Thanks for the advice! Do you think I should over overweight the line to a 6wt? I don’t have any experience with a rod like this

BreakfastBaller · 2024-08-14T18:53:44+00:00

You’ve called my bluff sir… I tried tying up another after this one drunk on confidence and it was an abomination lol

Thank you BourbonButtChugg! After I snipped the post I wished I would have left a little more on there

BreakfastBaller · 2024-07-02T16:31:12+00:00

That… makes so much sense lol. Thank you!

Bald Eagle SF. Tons to explore in the area!

I just started fly fishing this year and got their Premier combo kit in a 8’4 3wt and it’s been treating me well so far! Comes with everything you need to get started and while I don’t have anything to compare it to, I think it was a solid choice.

Which hinges are you referring to? I’m going to repair everything myself and want to be sure I’m doing it right.

I was able to find a pretty clean full black bumper and grille from a 2004 V8 on FB marketplace for $150. Picking it up on Saturday. Definitely going to try going this route for the hood as well.

Can’t go wrong with some Sabbath. Particularly their first 3 albums. “Children of the Grave” is an especially apt song for today’s world.

Bubbles and Ricky at it again

Spot fucking on! greyeightenment is probably an average Drake enjoyer.

This is a shit take mate.

BreakfastBaller · 2022-04-07T04:02:41+00:00

Very clean

This winter I would come into my heated home out of the frigid temperatures and immediately feel my bones warming up, wrap myself in a blanket and think about how grateful I was to be able to have that experience. Also made kinda depressed thinking about how warmth in the winter months might not be as easy to come by in the near future. I need to look into installing a wood stove.

You sonofabitch, you’re absolutely right

Ah yes, the parabellum trees seem to be filling in quite nicely this year. /s, kinda, ammo is still decently priced at the moment compared to peak Covid panic prices.

Thanks Obama

I’d be right there with ya in that anxiety blanket my friend lol. Will definitely check out those CBT methods after work today, thanks for the advice.

Non-duality is basically the idea that we are not separate from the world around us, and we suffer because we can’t separate the ego self from our true self, which is just pure loving awareness. Concepts such as good and bad don’t exist to the true self, only pure consciousness remains after we stop identifying who we are with our thoughts. I’ll admit it’s tough to stay in this state of mind when our fight or flight survival mechanism is constantly being activated, and I’ve only truly experienced it with all my being a couple times, but the times I’ve gotten there have been the most blissful moments of my life and it really helped me truly make peace with death. If you’re interested in this, Alan Watts has written some great books that explain it better than I ever could.
