Up in Michigan, I am sure that would be considered cheap. Down where I live, that is not the case. A $184.00 fly reel and a $1,000.00 or more rod, that is way out of reach around here for most. I am into Tenkara rods right now and tying Kebari Flies. It would be nice if you could do a review on Tenkara rods and tie a few flies with the forward-facing hackle. Beautiful flies and a pleasure to tie. I believe you would reach a lot of people that are interested in Tenkara fishing, and fly tying, and it is more affordable. If you are a trout fishing, dry fly, purest, then totally disregard everything I have written, delete it, and block my name from the site for suggesting such blasphemy, and should you speak my name, spit afterwards to remove it completely from your mouth. Really enjoy your channel and the hard work you put into it. Thanks for making these great instructional, and entertaining videos.

Thank you sir

I could not find the the guide spacing charts. When I open the link I just got a narrative basically of this video.

Very nice! Tight lines🕷️🐛🐜

Great video. I was leaning in both directions between the Costa and Maui Jim, after your video, I'm convinced on the Maui Jim in Bronze. Another angler in the eye doctors office also recommended the bronze Maui Jim sunglasses. Great video, keep it up.

You want the most contrast while still keeping a full spectrum of colors. Maui jim does the absolute best at this with their polarized plus technology. The entire colors spectrum is just enhanced. Any and everything with colors just pops, while staying that same color. Their glare reduction is top of the list as well. Smiths chromopop does a good job at boosting colors however it really only seems to boost the base colors of red, blue, yellow. When the colors mix to make say green or purple then the colors loose a little saturation. Bajios appear to use more of the costa mind set with a heavy colored base lens with a mirrored finish. They do allow more colors in than the costas however the heavy colored base lens is more restrictive on the color spectrum of light allowed through the lens than the prior two which run more neutral base lenses. Costas green lenses block ALOT of the color spectrum making it hard to look into shadows and differentiate between shades of green.

do you know of any with a bifocal lense?

Just getting back into Fly fishing and this really helped, thank you

I am surprised to not see a single pair of Sunclouds on this list. Have you ever tested them?

Also, wearing another pair of socks OVER your booties extends their life.

😂😂

Entire family fishes and we all used to wear costas. But I switched to maui jims and the rest of them moved to smiths. Both maui and smiths in my opinion have better clarity as well as polarization than costa. Ill still give the edge to maui over smith if your looking for the absolute best optics.

This is the UNI knot. The "Duncan Loop/Knot" puts a loop in the STANDING part of the line just before the eye, then the tag is passed thru and then wrapped around. Adjust to the size you want. The loop binds on the wraps therefore locking whatever size loop you made, in place. The "Uni Knot" puts a loop in the TAG/WORKING end AFTER you pass thru the eye then you wrap as before. You have made a barrel knot on the TAG end or "back on itself" thereby allowing the now formed loop to slide on the WORKING end. Similar construction - different results.

It’s me Nolan Borg

I’m looking for polarized sunglasses for fishing that fit over my prescription glasses, any recommendations?

First off, let's be clear here, you do NOT have a fat head. I know what of I speak because I have a fat head or a super thick skull or both. Trust me when I tell you that your head is not fat. The problem with glass lens is the weight, and the cost. Today, plastic lens are equal to glass without the weight and high cost. I wear trifocals and if my glasses had glass lens, they would look almost like the bottom of coke bottles and weight a ton. Of course, it is a personal thing. It is very important to be styling and profiling for those trout. They are not going to waste time on a pair of cheap sunglasses. Really do enjoy your channel. Thanks for going to all of the trouble and expense to make these great videos.

Can u show us the testing device u use for uva uvb testing?

Thank you for not talking for 20 minutes and getting to the point....i appreciate the clearly defined segments too

Seems it depends on lens color choice and between the two you chose I would pick the Maui Jims.

I don`t know, David. I really like the more natural view of the water through the Maui Jim Sunglasses, without that terrible reddish hue from the CDM Fantail. But, like you say, it is personal preference. I have never been a fan of seeing the world, tinted. I want it to look as natural as is possible and from your previous review, Maui Jim would be my choice. Thanks for these reviews, fly tying tutorials, rod building, fly fishing products, and so forth. I have no doubt your channel will continue to grow, just hang in there and don`t give up.

I love you videos they are awesome! The only problem is the audio part. Your video is sometimes hard to hear. I just thought I’d let you know. I thoroughly enjoy your videos except sometimes I can’t make up what you say!

Hello, David. It is good to see you out and about fishing. Mornings and evenings, the wind usually dies down, and the water is slick. I really enjoy fly fishing for Bluegill because they taste so good, and are about the only freshwater fish I eat besides crappie, and maybe catfish that are caught in the winter months. You should fish for whatever you want to, it doesn`t have to be trout all of the time. As always, I really enjoy your channel and videos. Thank you for going to the trouble of making them, they are greatly appreciated.

Have you tried on the frogs toggs deep current wading boot I see it’s a new product out there

YakYak ... tie the fly !

Fingernail polish remover has acetone and would make a good thinner plus it will unstick super glue should you accidentally glue unintended objects such as your fingertips to flies, etc....

Excellent video.

$98765

Never had any kind of of glasses like this aways wanted but I can’t push my self to put that kinda money out there

Dump the bag! Dump bag! I want to know what a Guide Recommended crap load of stuff to carry, looks like. Also, go over every piece and tell why you believe it is necessary to carry it. Thanks for making these absolutely fantastic videos. I always pick up useful information in each one.

Thank you, David!

Audio is terrible

Trim the legs.

Thanks for taking time to break all that down, just can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on sunglasses

little bit different, but great looking flies

Thank you! This is the type of reviews im looking for. No bs, informative with comparison and testing.

I whas think that you gonna go for smith for some kind sponsorship but great nice video man smith looks very good but I m fishing with costa for 10 years and none one scratch and amazing vizibilit

In terms of looks, are both of these sunglasses the same dimensions, shape and fit? I like the Costa Fantails but I prefer the Local Kine lense color options.

Great video!! My wife and I want to start fishing the Pigeon River in TN. There's a lot of slick rocks but also a bit of hiking is involved. Just how much more traction on slick rocks will I get with the Eddy felts vs rubber. I prefer rubber but don't want to regret it because they're too slick. Also, I plan to use a neoprene wet suit pants and vest in mild weather with waterproof socks and put the wetsuit pants leg over the top of the sock and then the Eddy wading shoes. Do you see this as a decent plan?

This was a lot of work, much thanks!

Great video thanks for the work

Great video! Which lense color gives the clearest view and avoids turning everything to a purple reddish tint ?

Hi the vise have any play on the shaft?

What state are you in? What a good lookin wild!
