Barracuda Fly

A New Take on Speckled Trout

Gearing up for the Salt!
Kinda, sorta...More like the Banana and around the Haul-Over. We've taken some guided trips through there and found action pretty much year-round. Seems the trout and reds average larger than in t |

Backing
There is only one reason to use gel-spun backing and that is to pack max yardage on your reel. Now, who actually needs this stuff? I have only once come close to being spooled, by a very large cobi |
