Today in the Xmas shopping list, I’m thinking of you, chub chasers in the cover during the warm days of summer, trout stalkers in small streams in the woods, long-legged walkers of mountain torrents, pocket fishermen and other such guys. What’s your problem? You’ve got no room for backcasts, you need to roll, you have barely two meters of line out of your tip, and you want some delicacy in the presentation. Maybe even, sometimes, fly a longuer line to reach that rising fish over there. Well, my boys, there’s a line for you. Just the right taper for what you do with a compact head with positive turn. Floats high, durable and without memory, costs very little (£27.6 shipping included)… Everything you could wish for. It’s called Smallstream by Mike Barrio, comes in 1 to 5wt in a nice tan color (old one was olive). So whatcha say? Am I Santa or what?
