Bauer MacKenzie Superlight Series Review

After over 5 years in use in the guide service, we’ve never sent a Bauer reel in for service. We currently have a M.5SL, M1SL, and M2SL in the guide service and they really shine on trips. They are simple, beautiful tools that work without a hitch-that’s important when you’ve got a client hooked into a strong, wild fish that’s headed towards a log with a #22 spinner on 7x tippet.

CFA1506F / 12 Row Micro-Slit Foam Fly Box Review

The 1506F is a shop favorite. This box has brought more smiles and organization to folks in the past few years than just about any other small item I can think of. Imagine being able to put the contents of five or six boxes chock-full-of-flies into one place.The box comes with four leaves, so typically we’ll sort nymphs on one side, dries on the second, streamers on the third and terrestrials on the fourth. I have two of these boxes because I have one set up just for Sulphurs in various life stages-think..Dries, Nymphs, Emergers/Cripples and Spinners. Theaux Le Gardeur
