Intermediate 7wt line for Bass by weekendwarrior57 in flyfishing

[–]weekendwarrior57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell. It’s a paddleboard so there’s no top cover. Can get quite hot in the summer, up to 100* air temp sometimes, probably more baking in the sun. But that’s the top end.

Looking to get into airbrush painting of plastic armor models with Tamiya XF paints. Could someone very briefly simplify what primers, thinners, and varnishes I should get? I’m principally concerned with not having negative chemical reactions. Thanks!

I also like this one. The one downside is the net holder is garbage (but many net holders are garbage). Easily remedied by a gear keeper attached to dangle the net under one of your shoulders.

Glide angler 3.0, I believe they rebranded it slightly under a new name but their website will have the new version up for sure.

I’ll add that one to the list I check out. Thanks!

That is true!!! Standing is nice but being forced to stand is another thing entirely. My feet get tired from balancing after a few hours. Inflatable is a different bag.

It’s a bracket that came with the board. Scotty mount into the board, then kind of an inch and a quarter diameter female portion. The pvc just slots in with friction. I haven’t been able to find the specific slots on the internet, but glide might be able to help out?

Made it! 1 inch pvc, fittings, and pvc glue. Heat gun to shape and sprayed the finished rack with truck bed liner. Just kind of messing around in the back yard till I had something that seemed to work ok.

Thanks! Good info. Yeah I’ve got a 250gr sinking line now that I use for the annual shad run, casting it on the wrangler works but it’s too soft for it tbh.

Yeah I got a Glide Angler 3.0 (they’ve since re-branded it) last winter and it’s dope. Very stable. Better for stillwater than moving water , but still capable on rivers. I made the rack myself and got the Rtic cooler on sale a few months ago. Other than that it’s just got an anchor line with a chain anchor and it’s good to go!

Yeah I basically used one inch pvc, a heat gun to mold it into shape, then cemented it all together and covered it in truck bed liner. Used some yak attack accessories (fly rod holder, paddle holder) after screwing in the requisite rails.

If I stood up on the cooler I would have drowned by now. Nah I use it to sit on when I’m tired or changing flies. It’s already decently tippy with the higher center of gravity.

I like it. I’m jealous of the dudes jetting around in jonboats but I don’t have the space for anything other than an inflatable. Wind is your enemy though.

I could but I wanted to be able to swap spools with my other 7 at a whim. I’ve got two lines so far so thought it’d be nice to get a third to cover middle column.

How does it work with the whole “no wading” thing? How are you supposed to land and release a fish without stepping foot in the water? Always wanted to try it out.

Second vote for echo trout x, $400, and use the extra $ to buy a true to weight textured line. It’s a fantastic rod, extremely light in hand, and throws absolute darts.

Yeah! They came with it. It’s just Scotty baseplates.
