The new 'it sport' for Generation Overshare?
 |
| Redington's Super Dry Fly and Super Dry Pant-with l/s Trask Plaid Shirt + Baselayer |
How about old school Fly Fishing…an activity that requires a body of water, some equipment and time…specifically time spent not looking at a screen, some timing/hand/eye/flex, a more than 2 second focus time ("
the art of observation"), and to be in the moment-of time. NICE.
One way to gift the goods without too much coinage-comes courtesy of Redington ---a company dedicated to producing accessibly priced reels, rods and functional attire...
A portable fly rod option for anglers hitting lakes/smaller streams-the
Butter Stick ($249.95) is made out of fiberglass -available in six lengths and weights. More seasoned sorts-would appreciate the company's new X-wrap carbon
Vapen Red fly rod -with a
no slip when wet PowerGrip- designed in cahoots with
Winn Grips of golf acclaim. Eight models-five weight through 12 weight $349.99.

Wader wise- a gift card will tide them over until the new Superdry® Collection delivers in Feb 2014-(Might Dry Jacket and Super Dry Fly, Super Dry Wadwe and the Super Dry Pant) for men-that dries 2x faster than similar waders -made of Cocona and waterproof/breathable Surgeshell-less clammy feeling-key to hanging out, waiting for---a bite.

You don't have to be an angler to recognize state of the art technical packs and bags…and the precise production of SAGE Fly Fishing's luggage really caught our eyeballs before we even knew a tiny bit about the rather acclaimed Washington state company, founded in 1980 by acclaimed rod designer, Don Green. We got an education!!!!

- How many days or steps or employees does it take to produce the EVOKE?
The EVOKE was the work of roughly five years of development and prototyping. This included the work of the in-house R&D team of five, other in-house anglers testing the reel and a handful of pro staff and ambassador anglers fishing the reel all over the world, from Washington to Florida to Australia.
- Are the material proprietary?
Yes, the material used to make the drag discs is a proprietary carbon fiber manufactured separately from the construction of the reel’s frame, spool and other componentry.
- Is the construction method proprietary?
Yes, our manufacturing partner machines and assembles our reels to our exact specifications. Notably, our numbered, one-revolution drag knob is achieved by a process not duplicated in any other reel company.
