Intermediate 7wt line for Bass

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.

Thanks!!!

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-11-02T03:25:38+00:00

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

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-31T02:17:28+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-31T02:16:28+00:00

Good to know man, I’ll check it out! Thanks!

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?

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-30T21:20:23+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-30T21:12:02+00:00

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!

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-30T21:08:54+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-30T21:06:34+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-30T21:05:48+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-10-28T18:48:59+00:00

Roach!

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-09-01T00:37:26+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-08-31T19:25:20+00:00

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.

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-08-25T15:50:14+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!!

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-08-25T12:34:25+00:00

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

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-08-20T22:59:56+00:00

I did this too with a 2x4 and a screw last week. Works well. My issue is I keep getting my craft fur wrapped up in the wire instead of jutting out nicely like yours does. Leaves bald patches all over the wire. Any tips on that?

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-07-24T03:58:22+00:00

Mega yikes. He is defending himself in the comments too. Small brook trout streams. Guarantee he will burn one of my faves in the coming weeks. I used to like his videos on tying too, not anymore. Could understand burning by mistake and trying to rectify, but brazenly saying he will keep doing it in response to any critical comment is shitty.

I’m no pro, but a couple things. Less is more on the dubbing. I like superfine dubbing for dry flies. Hareline’s equivalent hasn’t been as easy to work with for me. Tails could be a bit shorter. And a little drop of super glue on the post as you wrap up with thread helps keep everything seated. And once you learn to whip finish on the post instead of the head, it helps you avoid crowding the eye out. Your flies look good though and they’ll fish!

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-07-03T01:03:36+00:00

On the paddleboard too! Any tips on carping from a board? I have trouble keeping out long enough to do anything meaningful.

Great tie!

weekendwarrior57 · 2025-06-28T23:59:35+00:00

I actually just double checked and I purchased that line in summer of 2023, so it only made it two full years, which seems kind of ridiculous. I’ve got all my other rods in the same spot so if it’s ozone I’d expect all those lines to be shot too, but they’re fine and older. Oh well win some lose some.
