JAS;

Of course we usually include web sites and stores! What good would a review be without?

But as you obviously haven't noticed the fact box reads: "SmartFisher.com has closed and we can find no references to Roland or his products any more." and the article ends with the words "You used to be able to see videos, instructions on usage, a model for spinning gear and accessories on the product homepage SmartFisher.com, but this site has disappeared."

I have no idea whether the Smart Spooler is available anywhere anymore, but my guess is that it has been discontinued.

Would be nice if you

Would be nice if you included the url or website of stores where the Smart Spooler can be purchased. Is this item still available? . Google search came up empty. Would be too bad if it is no longer available. Looks like something I could really use..
- a better e-mail address is jack.a.sharp@us.army.mil, but your automated form will NOT accept it.

Going throught the same thing right now with mine. Trying to nurse them through just one more season with Shoe Goo and sewn together in spots with fly line backing. And the felt soles are hard and slippery. Any ideas on how to soften them back up?

Hi
I put this on a copper tube, used materials that I had available and ended up with a great small mouth bass fly.
Little ones cann't handle it so it works swell for bigger bass in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hello Adam,
It was a sheer joy to find your website "troutmen" and low and behold their is our tu stream we love to protect the Conewago Creek in Gettysburg Penna our "secret hideaway". You found it and enjoyed this stream as much as President Carter did when he fished it. I was proud to see this video as stream coordinator for over a decade, thanks.

I have 5 new tubes

I have 5 new tubes + 1 that is in use of Overton's that I got back in 1997 (not selling BTW, my nephews are learning to tie and it will go to them when I am no longer able to). Long story short is that I was in the right place at the right time when a shop was reorganizing some older inventory. I got the whole lot for less than $10. There has been nothing that even comes close to this stuff (at least not the stuff that is commercially available). The smell of a new tube of Overton's has a slightly pine resin smell to it. Not at all overpowering but enough so that there is no doubt that at least one of the ingredients has some pine derivative. Prior to scoring the Overton's I tried the toilet bowl rings melted down and that was not even close. It made a mess. My wife was not happy. This recipe looks very promising even though I have a couple lifetimes worth of wax. In a thread a read a while back someone mentioned castor oil as one of the parts to Overton's. I am surprised that no one has tried to crack Overton's recipe by mass spec or GC.

Cool! I'll be there

Cool! I'll be there next week! can't wait
Thanks for the article
