Not really. Sometimes when hiking through loose/dry decomposing organic material, you need to clean them out once in a while.

The softness of the foam rubber really forms around the texture of the (wet or dry) rocks, giving great traction.

Very nice. What is the net-bag made from?

It is my understanding that this stems from a couple different things, not anyone in particular. However, I do believe there is a difference between the use of "Vulgarities" which is allowed in the smokey back room, and derogatory terms/slurs, which don't belong within our community. We're...

LOL... you old guys can't hold it like us youngins.

So, uh, on a bit of a whim, I purchased a vintage St Croix Imperial Fiberglass 7 Weight. Its an "Ultralight", and says: "7090 XL 8' 3 5/8 oz Rated for 7 WGT Line" Its a 2 piece rod, and the ferrule has a weird O-ring in it. It came with a Martin 61 Tuna-can reel. The rod is real ...
