For some unknown reason Seaguar is hard to find in the NYC area (most
carbon sold here is usually way too thick), and I was advised to look in
shops that specialize in freshwater gear, rare here.
One day I went deep into the boonies of New Jersey on a film job, and there
was a fishing shop acro
Dear Stephen (Steven?)
I may be wrong (I often am) but I don't think the spelling of names
was quite so standardised at that time.
I see much variation for Holbourne, etcÂ… There may be an accepted
spelling, but that would probably
be a modern fairly arbitrary decision, I think.

Such a fresh point of view from an old salty!

I guess it would depend on the size of your local freshwater fish. For
Howard and me in Southern California, on lakes you would be using
fluorocarbon diameters much smaller than .30mm. Here, most diameters of
fluorocarbon applicable to a lute would be used in saltwater fishing or
maybe for very la
Dear Anthony,
Thanks for the extra information.
It is very important to be clear about this business of Dowland and
octaves, as it is widely misunderstood/misinterpreted, and it seems
already to have entered the collective folklore in the same way as the
idea that Dowland was born in Dublin -

Dear Roman,
That may be the root of the problem since 0.7mm, the size I'm after,
implies a fish bigger than most freshwater fish.

I have not tried KF for the 6th course but I am pretty certain it would
be too stiff.
The Lyons are also relatively stiff (it is high twist, but not double-
twist like the Pistoy or the Venice), and perhaps it does need an

Dear Anthony,
I have not tried KF for the 6th course but I am pretty certain it would
be too stiff.
As far as transitions from one course to another are concerned, I think
you need to make the 5th course brighter, not compromise the 4th course
by making it duller. Having an octave on the 5th
