Gear Roll-up: Chile’s Remote Aysén Region

The Echo Streamer X, Airflo fly lines, Skwala Thermo gear and a pile of sunglasses.

When it comes to fishing in deck boots, there are a handful of contenders, and a plethora of pretenders…

I like the Huntsman, because it has a little saw that comes in handy when you’re doing things like cutting thick cord, or cleaning birds.

A new entrant to the specialty fishing tool arms race, with a unique design and reasonable price point.

A cost-effective set of pliers for the salt, jungle, or steelhead fishing that are well-designed, durable and maintenance free.

This American-made fly reel is tough, understated and a solid consumer value.

You don’t need to spend a ton of money to get a perfectly good, high-performing saltwater fly rod you can take anywhere in the world.

When you have to throw heavy, saltwater flies in a hurry–this is the line to do it.

From Shuichi Akimaru, a master builder of bamboo fly rods, comes the “HEXA” 764, a 2-piece, six-sided (hollow) 7-foot 6-inch 4-weight fly rod.
