After a 6 year relationship it looks like its finally over. We have spent countless cold winter nights just sitting together, contemplating what the next step could be.Rushed mornings at the cabin,trying to get on the water before first light.Several curious,but potential suitors had their first with her,but tonight was the last straw.Without any warning ,she said "Im Done"........  Main shaft snapped,and sent the handle, like a bullet into the back wall of the office..Sounded like a gun shot. Looks like its time for a new partner !!!

I understand your pain amigo, I surely do.. It has only been a month, but Mel already has her own special place and covers to keep her warm. And not to worry if you need anything, Heath will be glad to help. He is the one with the money. And isn't it nice having a back up plan to help make dead lines!!!

For any of you Danvice owners, Gretchen & Al Beatty, http://btsflyfishing.com/ are the US distributor for Danvice... I think I might have been dreaming this morning,but after looking at the parts list on Al's website I couldnt find any pricing.Called the 800 number and Mr Al himself answered.(before 7:00 am Idaho time I found out).....Told him I wanted to inquire about a part and he just said "whats your address". Well, I really just wanted to find out how much it is,I said If you'll give me your address I'll just send one out to ya,said he..  .Said if I wanted to, just send him a couple of jigs and you never know but they might get published.. Unbelievable customer service.....I will shop with him in the future http://btsflyfishing.com/

Time for an upgrade. I love the vise I got from Skip!! That is a heck of a vise right? I have been nothing but impressed with Peak and their quality. Built like a tank I say, very solid and great machine work they do! Glad you like it and it will last a life time for real! Thank you, Skip
