  1. I've come to realize that I'm not getting down deep enough to get the big boys. So I picked up some quick sink level line but I have no clue how to set it up.. How long should it be? Can I connect it to my full intermediate line? I'm looking to get down like 7-9' here's what I bought.
  2. Laid the steel to em last night!!! 9 bass 18-20" missed 4.. I was fishing out front with the 9wt expecting bigger fish should of brought my 8. Anyways my decievers were a hit with those little guys..
  3. Would someone maybe mind posting a picture of a deceiver and maybe an EP fly?? so I can see how sparse I can go...
  4. That EP fiber is not fun to work with at least not for me.. I think I'm going to replace them with a few snake flies... Thanks for your suggestions
  5. Hey thanks guys! I appreciate the approval and pointers given!!
  6. So I could probably lighten up on my deceivers then..
  7. The eel is one I'm really not too sure about.. I know I need to down size the eyes and I'm not sure if I tied it too sparse
  8. Just looking for some opinions on my flies... Don't hold back I can catch all day..
  9. I rescued it alright. I just bought a looped running line and wrapped up the 40+ on a spool for later use.. Now that I can open a shop for line sales in the near future if I keep this up. But lawn test worked out fine so maybe I'm done.... We shall see..
  10. I'm fishing a greys gx900 on a 8wt sage vantage. Line yet undetermined its for sure not going to be the airflo. I fished it this morning before work and on lunch brake and I'm not a fan. So for now I guess I'm sticking to what works and that being a full line...
  11. Thanks for taking the time to spell all that out for me. I had some understanding but not its perfectly clear..so now that you let me know there's a differnce I probably wasted more money on this shooting head I picked up. So probably my next step will be to stick with the 40+ and get up to a fly shop and have em show me exactly what I need rather than blowing cashola on the wrong stuff.
  12. Well what I did is I also purchased a 8wt rio 1.5 IPS shooting head to use in the times I need a faster sink rate. My rod is as well an 8 wt. So there will be a possibility of overloading my rod??? Like I said I'm green and also have no mentor so I'm learning as I go.
  13. Well with as green as I am I thought that the running line and the head were 2 separate not realizing it came as one. So what I'm looking to do is cut it at the start of the running line and make loops in both the head and running line so that I can use other heads. Don't know if that makes sence or not or if it would work. But I would like it to cause a .5 per second sink rate is not enough in some cases
