FOR SALE – A clothing selection every fly fisher should have

Marne — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 01:41:12 +0000

The Shirt

SIMMS gear has been tried and tested all over the world and if you want a fishing shirt that will protect you from the sun all day, will take blood and guts (and still wash out easily), dries in a flash and still looks good enough to have a beer at the harbour on your return, you need one of these. UPF 30+ $89.95 (Sizes in stock M, L, XL; colours River, Wasabi, stone)

Another one from SIMMS is the Ebtide shirt, similar to the guide shirt but more for the streamlined look and minimal use of the shirt’s sockets. Good enough to go out dining and still as light as a feather with tough as nails fabric. $89.95 (Sizes M, L , XL; colours Slate blue, Limeade, Grey)

The Pants

The SIMMS Superlight Zip-Off Pant is a great compliment to the warm weather fishing shirts. Lightweight, technical performance in a convenient zip-off design. One pant to rule them all!
$107.95 (Size L; colours Oyster)

Option 2 is a pair of shorts, but it’s not like any other pair you’ve ever owned. SIMMS Surf Short comes in 3 different colours (one shown in stock). They are great bordies and very comfortable. $62.50 (Size S [30-32]; colour Saltwater Camo)

The Headwear

If you’ve ever seen Survivor, you’d know what a Buff is. Buffs are probably one of the best inventions for fisherman out on the water. Even when you wear a hat, the sun still gets you in the face and neck. Not with a Buff. This tube of fabric is stretchy so you can pull it over your head, and it has no seams to irritate your face or neck. $39.95 One size fits most (there are kiddy sizes too)

The Footwear

SIMMS come into a league of their own when it comes to wading boots and the Flats Boot is no exception. This sturdy shoe is tough enough to take on the sharp coral and soft enough inside to give your foot a luxury cruise all at the same time. These boots are made to last and have been used by Gavin Platz and our clients in Christmas Island and Nonouti. If bees had knees, these would be on their feet! $228.95 (Size is stock 9, 10, 12 [can order other sizes])

The Gloves and Hat
If you don’t like the smell of sunscreen all over your flies and scaring the fish away, one way of still protecting yourself from the sun and catching that timid fish is gloves. SIMMS make some great stuff that is UPF 50+ so it’ll stop you from getting burnt, and fits like… a… glove…? But seriously now, they work. $26.95 (Size S/M, L/XL; colour Stone [also a camo version available for order that matches the surf short print])

Now a hat in an easy thing to buy you think… THINK AGAIN!
Now that that’s over… we can talk about this hat from SIMMS. Lefty’s Lid is a cool hat from SIMMS that protects you form the sun and has a big bill to keet the sun out of your eyes. It also has a little tail or something on the back of the cap that shades your neck. It’s not as big as those huge draping capes you sometimes see. UPF 50+ $35.95 (One size fits all; colour Stone)

ALL of these can be bought at Tie ‘n’ Fly Outfitters. Just email us at flyshop@tienfly.com with your selection and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. Remember, free postage on all orders over $200.

HARDY PROAXIS SINTRIX RODS

IN OUR STORE

The Proaxis ranges of 1 and 4 section fly rods have been designed and developed by Hardy in conjunction with some of the worlds finest saltwater guides and anglers.

Our development team, led by five times Tarpon Gold Cup Grand Champion, Andy Mill, have pushed Hardy’s new Sintrix technology to the absolute limit – and the end result is staggering in both performance and durability.

These fast-action rods are loaded with cutting edge features, like lightweight saltwater-safe hardware, titanium recoil guides and, of course, Hardy’s revolutionary Sintrix material. Proaxis rods are lighter, stronger, more impact resistant and capable of withstanding much higher loads than standard graphite fly rods.

So, with less chance of damage, you can cast further, fish longer and fight harder when pursuing big saltwater species

Proaxis 4-Section Fly

With all the benefits of the 1-Section rods, the 4-Section Proaxis have been designed and developed to offer the ultimate rod for the professional saltwater fly angler – but in an easy to transport, four section format.

Range from 9’ six weight – 9’ 12 weight

Proaxis 1-Section Fly

Proaxis 1 Section rods have been designed and developed to offer the ultimate rod for the professional saltwater fly angler. The one section design provides a perfect match for the extreme challenges and pressures of saltwater fishing. Designed and manufactured with Sintrix (the latest in silica reinforced matrix resins), these rods can give up to 60% increase in compressive strength – and when combined with the one section design improves power transfer and removes the worry of a joint working loose in the heat of battle. The improved weight distribution further enhances the superb balance Proaxis range.

Range from 8’ 10” eight weight – 8’ 10” 12 weight

Designed and developed in conjunction with Andy Mill
Manufactured with Hardy & Greys Sintrix Material – giving up to 60% increase in compressive strength.
Incredible strength to weight ratio
High performance, fast action design
Top of the line titanium guides from REC and Fuji
Hardy designed two part skeletal reel seat

See how tough it is!

	Dear Fishermen, here’s something you might want to read before you buy a new rod. –Yellowstone Angler 8wt Shootout 2011– TFO BVK rods at the top of the class Yellowstone Angler’s 8wt Shootout this year came up with some surprising results. Rods ranging from the low $200′s to nearly a thousand dollars were compared on 14 different categories. To the surprise of everyone, the TFO BVK came in second by 4 points, only beaten by the G-Loomis NRX. To see the whole report and results, click HERE. We had a test cast of the rods and we were thoroughly impressed. To see the test, check the video HERE. Engineered to the highest performance standards, the BVK utilises new materials that dramatically reduce weight while creating an aggressive blend of power and strength. The result is amazing performance and an incredible price. BVK rods are fast action rods designed to excel in Presentation and Distance. The rich translucent olive blanks are topped with matching braided carbon fibre reel s eats, REC recoil stripping guides, ultra lightweight chromium-impregnated stainless snake guides and Flor grade cork grips that are comfortably contoured and uniquely contrasted. Available in 3 – 10 weight. To enquire or check them out on our site, click HERE. Tie ‘n’ Fly Outfitters is now a SCOTT ROD DEALER We now have the new Scott S^4S rods in store.
