My visitor today is Cameron Mortenson ofThe Fiberglass Manifesto Camera understands more about fiberglass fishing pole than nearly any person, and he has actually invested countless hours on the water fishing for a range of types with glass rods. I understand a great deal of listeners wonder about glass, therefore we try to address the most typical concerns:
- What is the history of fiberglass rods?
- How do modern-day ones compare to the older designs?
- What are the benefits of fiberglass rods?
- What are the downsides of fiberglass rods?
- What are the brand-new 4-piece Orvis Superfine Glass rods like?
If you have actually wondered about attempting a fiberglass fishing pole, I hope this podcast addresses a few of your concerns.
In the Fly Box, we have some thought-provoking concerns, ideas, and grievances, consisting of:
- What are the advantages of a strip set, and what is occurring at the end of the line?When should I utilize the strip set?
- Should I purchase an 8-weight or a 9-weight for a mix of saltwater and largemouth bass?
- Why do largemouth bass follow my fly and not take it?
- Why do not individuals utilize duck-quill-wing damp flies any longer?
- A listener takes Tom to job for teasing Tenkara fishing
- A guide makes a plea for customers to practice their casting prior to a day of fishing.
- I have some 50-year-old flies that seem in excellent shape and the hooks are not rusty. Do you believe the hooks are still excellent and will not break?
- A listener requests for suggestions in between a 7- or 8-weight rod for bass and carp.
- If the mono in my poly leader gets too brief, should I cut down the finish to attempt to expose more of the core?
- An idea on utilizing crushed product from inside desiccant bundles for a fly floatant
- Do some fly tiers get royalties on the patterns they developed?
- I see bass sprinkling up versus the coast and logs. Are they chasing after baitfish, and if so, how do I capture them?
- How do I get the curl out of my leader when fishing huge flies?
- I had 2 9-foot, 5-weight rods break in the very same location, a half inch from the pointer. What do you believe taken place?
- What does Tom do when he gets disappointed and his casting mechanics break down?
