Love this video by the guys at Shallow Water Expeditions. Yeah, it’s been out for awhile, but it is still awesome every time I watch it. If you have yet to see it, take 5 minutes out of your day and watch the link below. Probably the best topwater redfish footage out there. For a redfish guy like myself, this clip really gets the adrenaline going. There are some other good videos on their website as well so check ’em out.
It’s Friday. JazzFest is this weekend. This is me smiling.
A face only a mother can love. Enjoy your weekend!
PS. That catfish fell for a mosquito wet fly earlier this week. Who knew?
A while back I mentioned I broke a TFO BVK while fishing, I just wanted to follow up on my dealings with TFO. I gave them a call soon after that trip in February and explained what happened. I don’t recall who it was I spoke with, but he was very understanding and offered a replacement, any model I wished. He recommended either the Axiom or the TiCr X though as opposed to another BVK. I went with the Axiom because it was not as fast an action as the TiCr X, I’m used to a medium action.
I finally put it through it’s paces on Sunday and I do believe it is a better rod for me in the kayak. The BVK is a great rod, very light, but it has no lifting power. I needed a rod with a backbone to land reds in a kayak. The Axiom handled the job well. It is a really good looking rod too with some nice components. It casts very smoothly when I’m not flailing away with excitement. TFO was a pleasure to deal with, you can’t beat their warranty program.They are definitely worth looking at if you’re in the market for a new rod that is not going to break the bank.
