If that is the name of the reel it is a new one to me , where can i see one ? Who sells them?

Leland Fly Fishing shop. And yes, the fly is a clouser. When are you gonna get a real computer? You're missing a lot. My Iphone sees all the pictures , no problem.

I have another ? (lol can hear the groans already lol) anyway the ? Is what knot do most of you guys use to tie your tippits with ? I've been using the double surgions but have found the figure 8 (orvis ) knot to be a little easier for me to tie. So what do you guys use?

 At the butt end or tip?

Blood knot for tippet to mono leader or tippet to tippet.

Tippit to tippit (like going from 6# tippit to 4# tippit then the fly.

Thanks RG now i have to learn a new knot ! Lol i'm guessing that the blood knot may be one of the stronger knots for the kind of flyfishing i do!

[rgfixit]

Pretty simple and it works. A  nice in line knot.

Blood Knot

RG, quick question for line to line what do you think of the double uni ?

[Dark Cloud]

I tie all my own tapered leaders with blood knots for fly fishing and when I fish two flies I leave a longer tag end on the last blood knot that the second flie goes on...
Typically on the delly im starting with 8 or 10lb and ending up with 4 or 5lb. No worrieds with that knot for me...

Thanks RG and DC i've learned to tie more knots in the last 48 hr ,feels like i'm trying for a boyscout merit badge!! DC what is a delly? And thanks for the tip on the 2 fly  set up. DC  do just use mono for building leaders ?
