TackleTour's 2008 Holiday Gift Guide
(Part 2)
 Fly
Holiday Gift Guide Picks: We cap this season's Holiday Gift Guide off with
our picks in the fly category. There is something therapeutic about being in the
beautiful surroundings while fly fishing but with Ms. Casey on hand the word
"sexy" and "fly" can officially be used in the same sentence.
Simms G3 Guide Vest is built tough
and has plenty of storage for all your fly needs
Fly Fishing Vest:
(Simms G3)
When you care enough to purchase among the very best. It’s tough to argue the
popularity of Simms apparel in the fly fishing world. Quality begets quality in
every seem, fold, and cut of their garments.
Ummm... Nice vest.
The Simms G3 Guide Vest is the
baddest vest on the block and features shoulders that have contoured spacers for
comfort and ventilation and a non crushable knit collar that will not retain
water. A
magnetic buckle and zipper and magnetic tool catcher make it easy to access all
your tools on the fly (no pun intended). The guide vest is loaded with easily
accessible storage and has thermo-laminated tippet pockets. Available in two
colors (orange and taupo green) and sizes S-XXL.
G.Loomis Whisper Creek Fly Rods
are designed for smooth casting presentations and features fine diameter tips
Fly Fishing Rod:
(G.Loomis Whisper Creek Fly Rods) Based upon the original StreamDance
GLX Presentation series fly rods, G.loomis has tweaked the design and changed
the color to clearly distinguish these smooth casting "presentation" action rods
from other rod's in their series.
What are you thinking Ms. Casey?
Featuring the
fine diameter tips these rods are specifically designed to load up close for
accurate shorter casts to spooky fish using Gossamer tippets. When stealth and
precision are more important than overwhelming force, these are the rods to have
in hand.
The rods in this series are truly premium and retail from
$575-$620 depending on model and are available at the G.Loomis Superstore at
Monster Tackle.
Ms. Casey has Abel on her mind, these
premium reels can be customized for a truly one of a kind gift
Fly Fishing Reel:
(Abel) So
when a tackle enthusiast decides to delve into the darkness that is fly fishing,
the question is, where to go in order to fulfill that need for something unique,
eye catching, and exclusive? Well, anyone familiar with the world of fly fishing
knows, you don’t have to look very hard. Abel’s complete line of reels more than
fulfills this need and is small enough to be a great stocking stuffer for that
avid fly fisherman on your list. Looking for something truly unique? Abel has
the ability to custom paint and anodize artistic patterns on their reels to make
sure this gift is truly one of a kind.
What is in the reel bag?
Fly Fishing
Line:
(Scientific Anglers Sharkskin) When it comes to the latest in fly
fishing technology anglers turn to the team at SA. The company's new Sharkskin
lines have been making waves in the industry. By modifying the surface of the
fly line with a micro-repeating structure, it is possible to achieve surface
interface properties that mimic nature such as the ability of insects to walk on
water, the shedding and self-cleaning ability of Lotus leaves, or the adhesion
that allows a gecko to walk up vertical surfaces. Scientific Anglers Sharkskin
technology is a precise texturing process that embosses the surface of the fly
line coating with a repeating geometric micro-pattern. The finished surface is
no longer smooth, no longer exhibits unwanted line flash, and can be optimized
via the engineered shape, depth, and frequency of the pattern to yield greatly
improved line-to-water floatation, casting performance, and overall line
suppleness and durability. When it comes time to respool your reels this holiday
season Sharkskin lines are a quick and easy upgrade that makes sense.
Scientific Anglers Sharkskin lines
turn to nature for inspiration
Conclusion: With the winter weather
approaching this ends our Holiday Gift Guide and TackleTour prepares to gear up
to finish the year out strong with more reviews of the latest tackle offerings
from this season and the next. We would like to thank all of our readers this
year,
it is because of you that TackleTour continues to grow and we expand our coverage
of all things fishing. We have some more surprises in the coming year, and rest
assured this is not the last you have seen of TT Girl Ms. Casey. Happy Holidays
and Tight lines from Team TackleTour.
