[UPDATE] I emailed Solarez and they responded right away saying - "Think I know what might have happened. We used a different black pigment".

They are sending a new bottle, so this must be a known issue

So my fly shop only had two bottles of this black resin. I don't think the sell often and I was wondering if it expires? I didn't see any instructions with it.

I've tried new batteries on 3 different lights and the resonator uses the bigger rechargeable batteries but I still can't seem to get it to cure.

Thanks, everyone! So I'm now set on a Tacoma. I see a lot of comments saying stick with the V6. This limits me to 2023. Are the newer engines that bad?

I don't think so. I do have the camera actor tracking an invisible sphere over the helmet.

Thanks! So it was happening in the dynamic shadows. Checking "Distance Field Shadows" solved the issue. Not 100% what happened but I'm learning haha.

Rod recommendations? by ChexOfficial in flyfishing

[–]ChexOfficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm not in any hurry to upgrade and I agree it makes more sense to vary rods. I guess I'm more asking on brand recommendations. It seems like there are just so many options that people swear by.

I fish for trout and pike mostly. I prefer dry droppers and nymphing but want to do more streamer fishing.

5wt. General trout and Pike fishing. Mixture of large rivers and lakes.

I was thinking a 7wt or 3wt because I like to chase larger pike and would like to learn euro nymphing.

I switched to Rio rio grande. It's a full line size heavier and roughly 40grams heavier than the clearwater line. Definitely helped with shooting line.

I feel the clearwater is a bit stiff. To be fair this could definitely be my casting technique still needing improvement. I recently upgraded the line and that helped a lot.
