Both will save you some time and frustration on the water. Poor whip finishes and head cement (if us...

Plastic beads.

A couple Octobers back we hooked salmon with orange beads under an indicator with a small PT as the trailer for big bows to hit.

Dittos on the Osprey. My GoLite may be lighter and "faster" but nowhere near as comfortable on long hauls as the Osprey Aether. I hike with my kids and scouts so I carry extra stuff that would never be with me on solo hikes. At the end of the day the extra weight doesn't bother me due to t...
