  1. Peak makes a vise that will hold huge hooks.
  2. I already do, but i do like to see what is new that i am not aware of. Lots of great tyers out there doing videos i’d never have seen. I guess i should ignore the aliexpress nonsense but you see 4-5 versions of the same ad its annoying almost like craigslist. Sorry to vent. Not being able to tie much now has me watching youtube a lot. Covid is delaying my hand/wrist surgery and i am kind of stir crazy.
  3. I had several, had the willys jeep, had ultima, turbo optima. Subaru baja. Clodbuster. Yup spent way too much time with them. That crawler looks awesome.
  4. I do a general search, new videos today, (yesterday) there were numerous 45sec to 2 min videos for cheap chinese fly tying items. Maxcatch, royal sissi etc, all stuff that you will find on ali. Its very common, but if you focus on just specific tyers they won’t show on timeline.
  5. Only difference, I don’t buy from sources outside of north america. I rarely buy off ebay at this point.
  6. Thats awesome, i used to run rc10 electric cars on road and off road back in the late 80’s. Would love to build one again.
  7. How many spam videos out of china that just show stuff for sale on aliexpress and ebay? I do a general fly tying video search for new videos and you get 15 videos with links to chinese webstores. I wish google/youtube would filter that garbage out.
  8. Love how the lazer dub makes the fly light up under the uv spectrum.
  9. I have a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff headed your way.
  10. Looks versatile you can make a dragonfly pattern out of it with some clear fibers across the body. I always enjoy your videos. Ty
  11. We had 6” before halloween, its been 75 for the last week. I know we are going to pay for it in January.
  12. As i get older i find it difficult to cast my larger rods 8-9-10, can i add a piece below where the fighting but is to make a 2 handed rod? Or am i better off getting a specific rod and get rid of my old ones. arthritis is catching up to me yup i am admitting im getting old.
  13. Ive seen skiltos stuff on ebay looks great. Prices start low but can escallate quickly
  14. I am hoping to gain mobility. I delayed it a bit too long. Have a trigger finger too but md says its not an issue . For me its loss of circulation that gets me the worst. Once my hands are cold i’m done. Hoping that when the wrist is done it will improve. Kind of need hands that stay warm living in the northeast and working outside frequently as part of my job. i started cbd oil therapy and its helped with the pain and flexibility. Going for another emg test thanksgiving week. that will determine how long i have to wait.
  15. A co-worker has a different brand, but it works over wifi. He can set it up and keep track of everything remotely. He uses it a lot. He loves it. I’ve been considering one when my gas grill dies.
  16. Thats great news, i really want to do this one time only.
  17. I appreciate the kind words from everyone. Not sure when i can do procedure, but i am hoping after the new year. In time to tie for the spring.
  18. I have cbd coming at the recommendation of many friends and family. At this point i will try anything if it helps.
  19. I have to do more testing before md will do surgery. I have put it off for too long. I can't pick up pins or hooks off the floor
  20. Mine is advanced, having circulation problems in right hand When its cold it stays cold. I need both operated on as well as a few other things. Being a telephone tech is catching up with me. Lumping ladders and working with hand tools is for the young.
  21. I got one for each hand today, Hoping i can lessen my issues.
