🤓👍 Thank you. It took me a while, before the internet, to convert grains into ounces until I found it in an old encyclopedia dictionary that we had, I use to read it all through elementary in to high school, great learning tool. It helped me use old fly rods for spin fishing and I wanted to cast fly lines on spinning rods. They use to sell short fly lines to cast on spinning rods but I always tried to DIY it. Also I read a lot about fishermen making their own shooting heads, something I wanted to try. Now I have the formula thanks to you!
I need help! Do you have a tech video for welding the mono core line to a braided core line? I have been unable to get the mono core line cover soft enough without melting the core. Thx
It's very, very tricky. If your heat gun has an adjustable heat setting, turn it down as low as it will go while still melting the coating of the mono core line. We have to use the minimum heat to get the job done.
Hello fellow Canadian fly fisherman. I am starting production of my own line of fly reels this spring and launching my machining channel mid summer 2022. I will send you a couple reels. 100% made in Canada using Canadian raw materials by Canadian tool & die makers. If you are into making your own bamboo rods I have a plane and jig ( you can adjust tapper every 6") I will send you as well. Cheers from Mid Vancouver Island.
Good luck with the venture and yes it would be nice to see one of your reels. About bamboo rod building my SO has threatened me with grievous bodily harm should I ever venture that way. ;)
