SIMMS STOCKINGFOOT GORTEX
WADERS
It’s no secret that the name Simms has long been synonymous with
manufacturing the highest quality wading products on the market today.
While performance and reliability have never been an issue, the Simms
Lightweight Gore-Tex Stockingfoot Wader also offers one of the best
dollar values in the flyfishing industry. These waders are constructed
entirely of Gore-Tex wader fabric, offer reinforced lamination, and
are totally DEET and saltwater resistant. The waders are designed to
be lightweight and packable, and come complete with nylon wading belt,
repair kit, and built in suspenders. Considering it was our
top-selling product for 2001, with the new lower retail, we would
anticipate another landmark sales year for 2002. Available in sizes S-XXL,
color is Sterling.

ORVIS IGFA MIRAGE TIPPET
SPOOLS
There are many companies peddling fluorocarbon tippet products
however Orvis Mirage is simply the best. This exceptional fluorocarbon
leader material is made from PVDF, not nylon, and is less visible in
the water, sinks quicker, and is more abrasion-resistant, which makes
it superior for saltwater fishing. It has excellent UV-resistance and
will not absorb water under any condition. The refraction index makes
it virtually invisible to fish. Contrary to other brands, Orvis Mirage
has superior overhand knot strength and a specific gravity of 1.76,
which makes for ease of breaking surface tension and getting below the
surface for nymphing and eliminating surface shadow for dries. Mirage
comes in stackable spools that snap together for convenience.
Available in IGFA 2,4,6,8,12,16,20-lb. test.

RENZETTI CAM TRAVELER VISE
While Renzetti On-Line Rotary Vises have been popular for a number
of years now, the Cam Series Traveler Vise is the culmination of two
years of development and testing. This latest addition to the Renzetti
family features a new set of cam operated jaws that enables infinite
adjustment. Minimal pressure on the lever holds the hook rock steady
and your tying sequence is never compromised by unwanted hook
movement. The Traveler Series Vises will fulfill the demands of the
most fastidious tiers. While the standard Cam Traveler accommodates
hooks from 28 to 4/0, its saltwater cousin will handle hooks from 4 to
8/0, and comes complete with a spinning attachment and material clip.
All Travelers must be ordered in either right or left hand
configuration.

#5 SAGE 990 RPLXi AND
990-3 RPLXi FLY RODS
Is faster rod action necessarily better? This
question can only be answered through an investigation of
ones own personal preference. Those anglers that
are seeking an easy casting, high performance saltwater
rod, that excels in all conditions, however, need look no
further. These Sage 9-9wt rods offer quicker
loading properties, better loop control and a connected
feel throughout the casting stroke, making them an ideal
choice for both wader and boat angler. Once a fish is
hooked, these rods also offer tremendous leveraging and
lifting capabilities. The demand for RPLXi series rods
this year, at times, left us in a lurch for product, an
event that we will definitely remedy in the year 2001.
Sage and RPLXi is the standard by which all big-game fly
rods are judged. Available in line weights 5-14. All rods
are appointed with oversized guides, anodized aluminum
reel seats, cork fighting butts and EVA foam butt caps.
