Today's item:

A 5 wt Sharkskin fly line from Scientific Anglers, retail value - $99.95

SA says:

"Available in WF3 through WF8 floating ‘Ultimate Trout Taper’ versions, the
new Sharkskin lines are designed with features that mimic nature - like the
ability of insects being able to walk on water. Anglers will quickly notice the
textured pattern on the line instead of the typical smooth surface -
accomplished by 3M’s microreplication process that applies a structured/pattern
surface around the entire circumference of the fly line."

AEG's report-

Thad brought a few 5wt Trout Tapers to Mongolia with him halfway though the trip, I was amazed at how well the lines cast and fished in a variety of situations.

Tour Update

So there has been a lot of questions and request regarding the upcoming tour schedule.

Arranging the schedule each year is nothing short of a pain in the ass and a miracle. Trying to locate and contact theater venues that can accommodate our type of event takes a lot of time and hundreds of phone calls and emails. Aside from finding a venue with a digital projector the next hurdle is coordinating the schedule with available dates at the theaters and trying to keep a decent driving route. Multiply that by the hundreds of emails we are getting from across the country requesting that the film tour make a stop in their town.

The unfortunate situation is that we can not make it to every request that comes in, but we do our best to try and make it to centrally located cities.

Here is how the film tour is going to roll this winter.
Currently we have 21 live shows dialed in. If you are in or near those cites you can come party with us face to face mono e mono.

For the rest of the cities on the tour schedule we are doing a satellite broadcast to 72 movie theaters across the country all on the same night. (March 13^th)

While we won’t be their in person the film tour will still carry the same excitement and the show will be the same as the live version. Besides, a lot of you thought I talked too much anyway last year and threw bottles at me to get off the stage and start the movie.

So the next question everyone wants to know is what films are going to be in the line up this year?

We had over 50 submissions for the 2008 film tour. It has been a tough decision trying to narrow it down to the finalist. Teasers of the films we will be touring will start showing up in our screen room next week.

Next question, When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets will go on sale January 1^st and can be purchased on our web site.

We are offering pre sale tickets to all our shows through the web site. For the 72 shows across the country on March 13^th, the only way you will be able to get a ticket is to purchase them on the film tour web site. We will not be selling tickets at the door for those shows.

For the live shows I highly suggest buying your tickets on line as we had several shows that sold out last year. And don’t forget to sign up for our Play And Win contest. We will be giving away swag every day starting in January all the way up to the launch of the film tour.
