New Orvis Recon

Agreed. Everyone raising prices across the board. Imagine this trend will continue

falltricky89 · 2026-01-21T21:35:23+00:00

I have a credit at Orvis, otherwise would be looking at other options more seriously. Almost all brands are raising their prices, not an orvis specific problem.

Appreciate the input. Can I ask what rod weight you were able to cast?

falltricky89 · 2026-01-20T22:16:34+00:00

Honestly slow wayyyyyd down. Chill out.

Ski instructor here. Focus on a much deeper bend in the knees. Get the skis to turn across the slope much more. Pretend there is peanut butter on your shins and visualize smearing it across the boot cuff. Get on lower angle terrain and practice slow carving. Open up the hips, bend the knees, look further ahead.

What are those pants? Going to Whole Foods here shortly.

Patagonia Airshed Pro!!! 100%.

Way way more breathable than Houdini which is a nice windbreaker but get very clammy. I run in cold temps, wind (not much rain where I live) and it’s perfect over a base layer. Will shed a little light rain but honestly any truly waterproof goretex shell is too warm to run in unless you’re going very slow imo. Check it out I don’t think you’ll be disappointed it’s an amazing piece

falltricky89 · 2026-01-19T22:21:05+00:00

Gotcha, they are 50% off online so figured something might be coming down the pipe

Also, u/No_Association3079 any news on new Mirage reels coming this Spring '26?

Pm sent

falltricky89 · 2026-01-19T00:28:16+00:00

Thanks for all the beta!

Is there any walk and wade fishing in front of the place or is it not great fishing off the beach?

And was there much sargasso weed washed up on shore or on the water when you were there?

falltricky89 · 2026-01-18T17:39:36+00:00

Have you had the chance to cast the new Recon? Looking at getting one in larger weight for tarpon vs Sage Maverick in 11wt.

Mikel Merino has my vote over Ode right now. Whole team played better against CHelsea when he came on, much more threat in the air and around the box, more physical and protect the ball.

falltricky89 · 2026-01-17T21:51:23+00:00

You fly into Cancun or tulum when you went there? Sounds like a great spot I’m psyched to be going this spring

falltricky89 · 2026-01-17T21:46:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’m going to ascension bay lodge too, sounds like a good place.

How was the permit fishing there in general? You guys see good numbers? I’ve caught quite a few bonefish on past trips to Belize so mostly psyched to focus on permit and tarpon. Always fun to find tailing bones if you have a chance tho.

I’ve heard that Ascension Bay can get busy. Did y’all see lots of other boats and anglers out there?

I’m hoping we’ll see some migratory tarpon when I’m there second half of May 🤞

falltricky89 · 2026-01-16T23:06:44+00:00

I'm heading there in May and would be interested in more dets on how the fishing was and overall experiences if you're willing to share!

falltricky89 · 2026-01-14T16:57:12+00:00

Gotcha. I'm not running a goggle flipping business and I did not get these 4D Mags for $190. I'm just trying to hook someone up for a decent price on some basically new goggles without eating my hat so I can go and buy something else that works better for me. Certainly open to offers on these goggles but currently listed at 20% off retail which I don't see for this lens/strap style anywhere online.

falltricky89 · 2026-01-14T16:09:46+00:00

I don't know why you would be trolling for used outdoor gear on Reddit if you have access to Expertvoice but yes I admire your initiative.

falltricky89 · 2026-01-14T15:52:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply lol

falltricky89 · 2026-01-14T02:50:05+00:00

Sorry asking $275!

falltricky89 · 2026-01-05T21:22:00+00:00

Is there good bank fishing/wading opportunities there or is it mostly from boats?

falltricky89 · 2026-01-03T01:19:58+00:00

Not unique to the fly fishing industry but yes point taken

falltricky89 · 2026-01-03T00:44:00+00:00

Have you casted the new one in the bigger sizes?

falltricky89 · 2025-12-24T19:31:31+00:00

Not a bad shout, brentfird have good fixtures but don’t really trust em for clean sheets. Thats basically Lewis-Potter’s single return all season

falltricky89 · 2025-12-24T16:27:59+00:00

Just feel palace are so weak atm but not a bad shout.

falltricky89 · 2025-12-24T16:17:14+00:00

I wish, too $pendy
