I’m thinking of sacrificing my sewing machine 🤔

Excellent review, as always! Thank you, David! I just ordered a BVK SD lll+ for a TFO AXiom 2x: 9ft 10wt rod for saltwater fly fishing in SW Florida.. O'Neill's Fly Fishing in Delaware has them on sale right now for 50% off!

I soak mine in hand soap overnight then rinse clean in the morning. The speed and slickness can't be matched. i would have some concerns what that product may do to the chemical structure of the line itself.

Nice video bud, I've always wanted to fly fish. Just got back a couple weeks ago from salmon fishing. I'm down state

Oh my goodness, I felt that fish off feeling before.

Thanks - nice reviews. I am an angler and fish biologist and find myself trying to spot fish in low light (Western Washington in November). For me, light amber/yellow gives the best contrast. I don't want to spend a lot because they are easy to lose, but I also wear glasses so I need fit-overs. My go to is: Eagle Eyes Fit-Overs - currently $41.96; my recommendation for those who don't need fit-overs is Flying Fisherman Buchanan rectangular for $23. Just as good visually. They seem to only come in women's but the fish don't care. Like other plastic lenses they scratch easily

Let me know when you're in the Muskegon area and I am there.

Looks like snagging.

San Juan Werman size 8, won’t work

How do you like your NuCanoe Frontier 12 kayak? I've been considering purchasing a 12' version of a NuCanoe w/casting stability bar or another brand of kayak. Also, what are your thoughts about having a kayak powered by pedals and line management? I live in SW Florida and saw Joe Mahler, a SW Florida Fly Fishing legend, fishing from a NuCanoe Frontier 12 kayak w/casting stability bar on KZbin. Keep the great videos coming! Thank you, David!

Matching your hat color to the lens colors was a nice touch. Very tasteful and subtle.

i will be up there Saturday through Monday. going there and the Betsie. thanks for the video. gives good confidence.

These are actually some of my favorite glasses, but i have to buy 2-3 time a year, because the lenses just aren't durable. Once i get even the tiniest scratch in the main field of view, theyre done for me. I love the color of the brown/chartreuse lenses. I prefer my glass costas for lens durability, but the frames seem to be a major weak point for me.

I have been a dedicated Costa fan using only their 580 glass in green mirror for very bright days. However, my FAVORITE go-to is their COPPER (non mirrored) for contrast and colour enhancement...the pop.. In the Maui Jims, what are the main differences between the Bronze & Rose colours? I am a long haul driver, so glasses are worn for HOURS in varying light

Nice!!! Looks like your doing fantastic hooking up with big black streamers in their faces. Nicely done, nicely done! Missed the Pere Marquette this year, I won't miss it next early Fall. Ill have to look you up next Sept. I need to rent a kayak next year. I usually wade it, gets quite limited.

What on earth?? Is the tippet breaking? 10 pounds is really thin for salmon... Better luck next time

Great video David and thanks for sharing. I always wanted to go to the PM but never had anyone to go with me. Dont know how I missed your invite but I would of tried to go along. Sorry but looks like you had a good time. Enjoyed your hook ups. Well maybe next year look me up. Tight lines and continue what you do I enjoyed it. Thanks.

Great video are you buy indian bridge?

Beautiful river and always a great place to spend time fishing. Just got back Saturday and my luck was similar..... low, clear water with fish spread out and spooky. Hooked several, landed none. I switch to my 5WT one evening and went after they trout below the salmon. I caught two very nice Brown Trout just as the sun dropped behind the trees. Take Care

That is amazing. I'll have to check it out

Hey you are in my neck of the woods!

Too bad I was subscribed to your website. I would have gone with you. I just joined your website so I do not miss any future invites.

that looks like fun, wow.

nice water. how can I find out how to get on the river to catch one of those big salmon.

Beautiful water, beautiful surroundings, lots of big fish, yeah, you are living the dream.

Smith isn't willing to give an honest answer as to where their sunglasses are manufactured. There's only one reason why. They know that $200 is a little "hefty" for their chi-com built products.

I have had the exact same vise, with the bobbin rest for years. I bought mine new, when they were 112.00 dollars, and it is just as good today as it was when I bought it. Thanks for the great videos, David.

I know this is an old video from seven months ago, but I have a quick question. I want to make an eight week fly rod for catfish how do I know what size or millimeter rod carbon fiber rods I will need.

thinking of getting a 4w foundation. would it be wise to get a 5w for trout 14-20"? or could a 4w handle it? Thanks

When was this!? I was just there!? 9-9-24

Great video! Which one of these glasses has the best hat compatibility fit woudl you say? I often have trouble finding a pair of inexpensive glasses to fun on the sides of my head with a hat.

High N Dry has a relatively new product called Paste Floatant that works well to help with keeping flies and the tips of fly lines and leader butts floating. As it's name suggests it's a clear silicone paste.

While not budget at double the price limit here of $99, if anyone is looking for a premium fishing sunglass at a ridiculously good price, go to your local Costco and get a pair of Costa sunglasses at more than half off. My Costas have the best polarized lenses for fishing of any sunglasses I’ve used, they are very comfortable, come with a sturdy case, and the anti-scratch coating on them is more durable than any other sunglasses I have owned except a pair of Ray Bans that had glass lenses. The most effective anti-scratch coatings are those on glass lenses, but that pair of Ray Bans I used to own was so heavy that it became uncomfortable to wear after about half an hour.

Good video: I have been using the micro swivel for years, not only when casting the large poppers and streamers but also, I use them when fishing smaller flies and poppers; they are a must, just as the tippet is essential to cut down on knot tying. Thanks for sharing

David, that is a double thumbs up from me.

What a beautiful river. You are right, everyone needs a little down time and alone time. It is good for the soul and helps make the needed repairs and gets us ready to face the world again. I wish I was up there on that river, easing my way down, in no hurry, catching a fish now and then. You are living the dream, David. Thanks for my virtual tour of Rifle River. All of the best to you.

Thanks for the reminder to get out and fish. Nice video😊

Where can you find it

how can I find some clip on fishing glasses???

Great review! THANK YOU! I've never owned a pair of polarized. Just a well put together video. :) Now to pick between amber and gray. Eh? At these price point one of each!

I bought today moui jim H449-01HCL HUELO 24 Iam Rajesh in India

Bought the fishoholics, and they started cracking on 3rd trip out. Very cheap brittle plastic...shame they did look good

This vise is an amazing vise especially for the money. I started tying on this vise 25 years ago and still have it. Granted I currently tie in a regal revolution the last few years. I will always go back and tie on my peak.

Great video! One thing that you did not mention is warranty information. Also, customer service if you ever had to contact them. Thanks again for the great video!

David, I like all the recommendations you have made on products you find value in. Thanks again

Thanks for the video. I think I’ll go with the smiths. The costas make everything look like you’re wearing sunglasses, while the smiths appear to keep things more true to their natural color. ChromaPop for the win.
