Dear All:
In the spirit of 1) the drag capabilities of trout reels and 2) the performance and durability of coolers, I'd like to spark some discussion with the input of the Pa fly fishing on-line community on the performance advantages of machined, carbide blade tippet nippers.
I'd like people to share their direct experiences with such game-breaking fishing technology and anything they've garnered through 2ndary sources like magazine reviews and internet blogs.
The effect on anglers' success by this on-the-water industry advance should not pass unnoticed. I look at what generations of fly anglers have used to deal with the most important, hardest stressed part of their tackle and shake my head ruefully. "How could we have been so foolish!"
Is $25 for state of the industry line maintenance really too much to ask? Especially if it comes anodized in the iridescent colors of the creatures of our pursuit?
Please discuss
