Freshwater has got some big surprises if you know where to look and what flies to throw! #grasscarp

Hardware, it's the starting point to finding the balance between the angler and his/her equipment. The line is the third variable and it is a part of the equipment that's left to the angler to match with what he/she has in hand.

A group of new projects in the works. Northfork Composites and Batson Rainshadow RX10 blanks. Line weights 2, 4 and sixes.

They said, "go fly fishing in Chile. You'll have a blast.". Well, you'll certainly have a few chances at a brown like this.
This is the Rainshadow ETERNITY2 in a 6 weight line. We built it with REC CeRecoil stripping guides and a carbon fiber handle. An excellent fast action rod!

Not going to lie; this was one of the best days I've had in the Andes Mountains not too far from the big city.

I put together this replica of an old Sage model. Used a 4wt. med-fast action 9ft. rod blank I natural glossy graphite color.

Finally got the new stick out of the shop for a field test. Tried 2 different lines and the results were good. I don't particularly like the SA Amplitude MPX WF-F line paired with this rod. More casting with other lines needed. 👍

Fly rods are a unique tool for the purpose of artfully catching fish. A fly rod becomes an extension of the angler and with practice it becomes an appendage which becomes more sharp with use. It's a beautiful thing to watch someone who has merged with his tools in and artful way.

Here's a tip for my angling friends. Have a list of 5 important characteristics that you require in a fishing buddy. Then go fishing with any of your friends that can meet at least 3 of those requirements. Finally, work hard yourself meet all 5! Want to know what's on my list?

I'm sitting here at my work desk thinking about the times in my life where I learned enough about something from a position that I should have written a book about it. I very recently hit one of those points again. Still not an author.

What's your fly fishing dream trip?

[Rodmakers.cl @Rodmakers_chile]

@RedingtonGear It's easier than you think. Come on down!
