Tippet time

Starting to run low on my spools of tippet.

They are all Rio powerflex,5x-2x. And I like the stuff very much,

But am still thinking about trying another brand.

Seaguar, Frog hair, Orvis, more Rio, Rio flourocarbon, So many choices!!

I think I will end up buying mostly Rio powerflex again, because it has not let me down, and I have high trust in it....getting trust in a tippet takes a long time.

We'll see, I'll post what I do end up buying.

Organization

Organization is a great thing.
It started with my fly tying materials as I got more and more of them, I had to organize them better. Now I have came up with a system and it's easy to keep them organized if you don't slip up.
The organization then went to my fly rods, Reels and lines. My rods are now organized in their own corner, Reels in bags that are labeled with what line they have on them, spare lines all in their own boxes they came in, In a bigger box.
It then went to My fly backstock, which consists of multiple plano boxes of dries, nymphs and streamers.

It has now gone throughout, and my room is all organized, and everything is in it's place.

It's a Nice feeling when stuff is organized, like your life is in order and where it should be.

Maybe you might want to start getting organized? It seems endless but before you know it you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tight lines!

G.Loomis

On a Bulletin board I frequent I read a topic about G.loomis' GL2 rods where a man picked them up and they had epoxy oozing over in places where it shouldn't have been and all.
I hope this is not the case with Loomis. They are a great company and I would hate to see the company go to crap from Shimano purchasing it...
I do not have a GL2,,,However I own one of their GL3's and it's a fantastic fast rod. I hope the quality standards do not go down in Loomis.

There was also comments of Loomis' breaking to easily....That to me is Bull! I have had my GL3 for just over a year now and it has taken 6 pound rainbows, 5 pound bass, a 18 pound catfish all without breaking...My buddy has 2 GL3's that he has had for 7 years and he has taken them to montana and landed many big fish with them. He has broken exactly ONE,,,Because of his own fault...
These guys saying they break to easily must have hit the rod with a bead-head a couple times, dropped their rod, whacked the tip, jammed the rod into the ground when they were walking, whacked a tree, or high stick and fight fish wrong, or when they are bringing the fish to hand they put the rod high behind them causing all the pressure to be in the tip and making it snap....Probably other reasons that come to my head that would make them say the break to easily....In my opinion no rod "breaks" to easy...Its what you are doing with it to make it snap, that makes you think it is easy to break.

I could go around and say "Oh yeah I don't fish Sage,,,They break to easy..."
I would obviously be doing something wrong to make them break... I think that is the case with these guys saying they break to easy.

Anyways just opinions and nothing more...
Tight lines!
