Summary

Warning—this week’s podcast, besides the usual Fly Box questions, contains a blatant commercial plug. I am often asked the difference between the original Helios and Helios 2 rods, and I think we have spelled it out pretty well in our marketing, but I figured a better way was to ask some of the best anglers and testers in the industry to articulate the differences they see between the two rods. So you’ll hear interviews with people like Brian O’Keefe, Spencer Higa, Dave and Amelia Jensen, and John Herzer—but the real treat is to hear what the amazing Hank Patterson has to say about H2 rods. I think you will enjoy all of these, but of course for the real truth don’t miss Hank’s interview.

1:02.0	I didn't have any phone calls the past three or four weeks.
1:07.6	So I didn't have any phone calls that I could answer anyways.
1:10.9	So these are all going to be emails that people sent in.
1:15.0	The first one is from Charlotte.
1:18.0	Charlotte says, I know as the Orvis company does not market some leader in tip of material
1:22.0	as particularly suitable for saltwater fishing.
1:24.8	I can readily understand that some flylines are necessarily better suited for cold water,
1:29.6	warm water, when the flexibility of the line for that matter of tip or leader can be critical to
1:34.6	presentation after reading or of his product information on leader and
1:41.5	tip materials I have confidence that your products are well
1:44.2	tested and research.
1:45.6	So she also says in spin fishing I never noticed any problem with the monofilements that
1:51.0	I used in fresh and salt water.
