SalarMan started following Question for "Lefties" and a Regal - Revolution Vise or other choices, Buying a new TV, Do We Continue the Challenge Tying Thread for 2025? and and 5 others
-
A few years ago we needed a new TV. I went to best buy and found what I wanted. They told me in order to have them take my old TV to be recycled I had to have them deliver it ($70) plus the installation fee. I live in SE Pennsylvania, so I called the Delaware store and they said they would take the old TV with no recycle fee and I could just take the new one home with me. On top of that, Delaware does not have a sales tax like PA's 6%. So I saved the sales tax, the delivery fee, and the installation fee just by driving 40 minutes south. Stopped at Total Wine while down there and it was a trip well spent.

Lack of participation the reason for the poll? -

I figured it out. The vise is located in New York City and the seller figures their prices apply everywhere. That's insane!!!

Bruce - I've been following that LAW for months. The seller doesn't have a clue of the current market value and just keeps relisting it and expecting someone to buy it I suppose.

Quite a while ago I was struggling with the heron hackle on the pattern "Miss Grant". My friend Matt in Michigan told me about the hair dryer trick and this was the result...and believe me the hackle was anywhere and everywhere before the hair dryer. Just use a low heat setting!!

They are some ugly muthasπππ...and I like'em because I know they will catch fish and remind me of flies I tied in similar fashion because they caught fish!!!

I've been a fan of soft hackle patterns for the last 50 years +or-. I have advocated for simplicity in flies to many member of my fly tying club for the simple reason those flies are easy to tie and they WORK! Use the hair dryer trick. It does the job of setting the feather just the way you want it well.

I haven't a clue...but I will be interested to learn what it is or may be.
