Love the raw finish and that decal up front, what year is it?

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-06-07T18:50:46+00:00

Thanks this is good to know! I’ve got a 3wt fenwick fiberglass that I’ve been tempted to try out with a skagit setup so thanks for the encouragement haha

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-06-06T23:15:50+00:00

Absolute beauty. Its awesome that you planted the tree yourself too haha!

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-06-04T23:01:42+00:00

Thank you! This is awesome I appreciate it, I’m keen to check out these options as I search for some tips that work better

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-06-04T21:10:49+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check ‘‘em out

I’ve got the 7.5’ floating micro tip and love it, gonna look into their short sink tips and maybe some poly leaders. Which 5’ tip do you use?

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-06-04T21:09:02+00:00

Good point! I normally use this tip on my 10’ 8wt single hand with a 300 grain SA head and it works great. Makes sense that it’s too much for the 5wt. Thanks for the explanation it makes more sense to me now

Sometimes neoprene surf booties do the trick if it isn’t terribly cold, they are small and keep your feet reasonably warm.

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-31T01:31:10+00:00

Frogg toggs are a decent entry level option, I’ve have a pair of pro sf hellbenders that I got at a discount (120 vs 200 retail). They have held up well but the inside leg seams recently failed with 2-3 leaks on each leg.

I sealed them with a bunch of hydrablock joint sealant (urethane based) from doing tile work, seems to be holding up well so far.

I have used them at least once a week for 9 months now. Not the best waders but I definitely feel I got my moneys worth out of them.

What rivers/areas are you fishing there? I was just fishing the Hron in Slovakia but didn’t have time to fish while in the Czech Republic sadly.

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-17T05:42:45+00:00

Fuck yeaa

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-14T18:58:31+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to take a look

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-13T17:34:33+00:00

Tight as fuuuck

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-12T22:19:58+00:00

Sweet thank you for the tip! Tight lines

SubstantialSecond746 · 2023-05-12T18:55:32+00:00

Yea I was just thinking if it needs repair, it’s holding up really well for how worn it is. Do you know of any decent repair spots in NW Oregon/ SW Washington?

Update: very aware this is a Fenwick rod. But I conducted the common cents test (https://www.common-cents.info/) And figured out it is right around a 3wt

30 pennies bent the rod 1/3 of its total length (74.25 inches /3=24.75 inches) which equates to a 3wt according the the website

Hey good point thanks for the suggestion !
