Ultimate Trout Taper-Sharkskin Line from Scientific Anglers. Available in both a bright chartreuse color and a more subdued gray, all Weight Forward Trout tapers at this time. You won't believe how this line will perform. It'll add twenty feet to your normal cast... or more. Comes off the water like no other line we've ever seen. Mend... be careful... you might end up mending the entire amount of line out! Instead of a normal weight forward taper, where you have a front taper, head, then quickly back to a running line diameter, this new line has a very gradual rear taper. It performs extremely well on stream. Cast like a rocket... and you'll have no problem getting past the noise as it runs through the guides. These lines will be the rage in the industry for 2008. Trout tapers in line weights #3 through #8... $99.95 Saltwater tapers, #7-#10, $99.95 No extra charges for shipping.
The " Au Sable Tippet Gauge", a Gates Au Sable Lodge exclusive. One look at this thing, and folks might say..."What do I need that for?" Well let's just say, we see and repair more leaders with tippet configurations that can only be described as cluster $@^%'s. Machine extruded leaders with 6x tied directly to 3x...and the guy wonders why it won't roll over. Rebuilt tippet sections.... 4x.....6x.....then 4x again.....again... won't roll over. As anglers we spend serious time building our own leaders. Custom. Can always tie a better leader than you can buy off the rack. Just takes a few minutes time. One good movie with a tying box in front of me and I'll have a months worth of leaders for the vest. It all starts with knowing what diameters you are putting together. As a kid, I would watch the older knowledgeable fisher folks come in and mic out the materials on the wall before they bought it. Just to be sure. Nothing worse than tying on two sections of 4x tippet..... I always looked for these dial indicators in catalogs. Sears tool sections etc, etc. Finally got old enough to realize couldn't afford one. They all listed for over $100. I'd just have to trust the markings on the spools, or suffer through the plastic peck and hunt sizing wheel units out on the market. We've made this available at an affordable price. We can only do this because we are the importer. No three middle men taking a bite off it before it hit's the shelve. Comes in a hard plastic foam lined case, and a laminated tippet diameter conversion card. $49.95...plus some UPS shipping charges. In stock.
