Hi folks :cool:

The feedback that I've been getting from customers about the lighter of the GT series lines, the #3 and #4, has been great and folk seem to be really enjoying the benefits of that extra line control that the GT offers.

So much so that I've decided to add a GT140 WF2F to the range and this will be available soon :wink

Best wishes
Mike

Hmmm :roll ...... our fly line and product topics are kind of spread out throughout the forum, I wonder if it would be better to have a separate "Barrio" section?

Cheers

Would that be a place just for yourself Mike? A special or a happy place perhaps?

No :z4

I was just thinking it might be better not to mix the Barrio fly lines topics in with the rest ...... just a thought :wink

Seriously though, it might not be a bad idea to have all the Barrio Tackle related items in a seperate section.
then people can drop in to see what is new and perhaps even suggest or ask about specific items directly.
I can see some benefit in it and it might save some important announcements getting lost in the main threads.

I don't think it is to pretentious either, but i would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this first :z16

Cheers

Poor old Mr B, getting it in the neck.
Fair to say though that the lastest reviewer of Barrio tackle has perhaps seen one too many damp sheds......



or maybe

Another stroke of genius from Mr Barrio.    :cool:

I always wondered where the fly line inspiration comes from.  Most of us take literature to the dunny!   :z4

Lol Mike wasn't sure you would have the balls to post it. Serious stuff this fly line development :z4. Cant accept any of the credit for this masterpiece lads all I did was laugh (quietly)in the background.

Pity you cant see the joints in the fly line, done with gaffer tape and also nails by the sounds of it.

That must be a new production process Noel, previously they were always "welded" with a Marlboro  :z4
