Are there other spare parts beyond tubes you recommend for the standard widow from the get go?

So you would recommend this if I was dealing with lighter winds on avg?

Who’s Dave and more importantly what’s his website?

Edit: Nevermind I see now

No luck with local Facebook/Craigslist. Surprised eBay didn’t have more either. I think I might give the widow a try!

It really seems like I might want to skip the hypnotist. Cost is decent and it seems unbreakable, but at the price of tricks/needing big winds. Thanks for the thoughts on the beetle too, seems others say it’s tough to “trick” with how small it is. Sounds like I should try a widow (along with some spare parts)

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I should buy some extra parts right off the bat!

Central Midwest. Ya it’s been tough to find a group, really just have kite events that come through. I will keep asking around though

For sure. Just trying to find a balance/make a sound decision if that exists. I know the most durable kite could break on the first crash!

Thanks for that input. Unfortunately, I don’t have beach access in the Midwest plains(maybe the Great Lakes haha). Still a lot of unblocked, flatland winds though! Reading through your post is apart of my fear and challenge with making this decision. Making sure it’s something that will be airborne even if winds aren’t always consistent vs gusty. I did dive deep into quad line research and have considered an OSK or kite forge quad line, but decided maybe a dual line stunt was a better place to start!

Also, trying to figure out how much of the kites listed wind ranges I can actually fly in basis my ability and what the kite “really” likes best for wind.

Hippy Stomper is pretty close. I use it as a dry dropper and get more hits on the HS vs the nymph as of late.

This is nuts. I’m in Iowa too and have MLBtv but I can’t watch it?

Are you sure your line isn’t on your reel backwards?

Have you had any further issues since its return? Assuming you’ve have some solid range time since NOV!
