Best Gift for Fly Fishing: Limitless 475

 “I took the Limitless 475 to Key West This spring and it worked perfectly for tarpon. I especially appreciate the smooth transition from slack line to reel after the hook up. In my experience this is when most tarpon are lost. Being able to trust that it will be a smooth transition with the Limitless fully-sealed GDS disk drag is key. It helped me with one of the best tarpon trips I have ever had.”

2022 Fish Quest: I am heading back into the jungles of South America and hope to finally get an arowana.

Best Fly Fishing Gift Idea: Launch 400 Triple Play

“I love the Launch 400 for its versatility. I am able to use it in fresh and salt water. With the triple play I have multiple lines rigged up on spools ready to go for easy conversion. I always remember to rinse the reel thoroughly if I use it in salt water.”

Best Gift for Fly Fishing: Freshwater Tippet

“I have been using cheeky Tippet for my pursuit of big browns and have found it worthy of any fight. I caught this bruiser on 4x this Fall. It’s dependable and I love that we now make it from 0x-6x.”

2022 Fish Quest: I want to, finally, land a nice striper on my fly rod. I came close at the Schoolie tournament last year, but broke a big one off… not in 2022.
