I've been wearing a pair of their Boundary Zip waders since they launched and have had excellent luck with them as far as comfort and durability are concerned. Needless to say, I was excited to see what the new offerings brought to the table!</span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Vector</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL9pBDTW7oKEdnXElsklOhJZkdHSy4momqMhh1dX8_4aTnXfqrwavDkoRbHxRkFe8L_kZ3gyTqxmy7yDD_b2Hqz7F_tdmBzvFbWMo4aN9lIGYqKC0SX5CnscHxu0X5Lm1tie_oySWRH2zaOXFDqSlmIIIl6ZbvZW5LhnIDMb50-WSVNtFOrfanrkigrtQ/s756/Vector%203.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="756" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL9pBDTW7oKEdnXElsklOhJZkdHSy4momqMhh1dX8_4aTnXfqrwavDkoRbHxRkFe8L_kZ3gyTqxmy7yDD_b2Hqz7F_tdmBzvFbWMo4aN9lIGYqKC0SX5CnscHxu0X5Lm1tie_oySWRH2zaOXFDqSlmIIIl6ZbvZW5LhnIDMb50-WSVNtFOrfanrkigrtQ/w640-h560/Vector%203.JPEG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">This trip began with a cold start. The snow level was very low in the Coastal Range and it was hovering around freezing. I was layered up pretty heavily for the first half of the day. I wear a standard large in most waders and the Vectors were easily able to accommodate all the extra clothing without getting too tight. The fit was spot-on. The generous chest pocket had plenty of room for gloves and all the other items I wanted to have at hand. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The first very noticeable feature of these waders was the fabric. It's soft and extremely comfortable. The articulation and freedom of movement was excellent. This was a drift boat trip and I was in and out of the boat several times throughout the day. I had no problem getting back in the boat in deeper spots, even with all the layers. Beyond the function of motion with the Vectors, the color was ideal for soaking up some sun in the cold. I was happy for that!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEv4JRiiR6PrGt1rz3FCro56jp7T4jbE37llNnaLMmTCqyiqFeOqHu3IjRl7AatwSdZOjjm7n41-WHACeYJSap9A9Cbpokv90qVSAsDK8jwt0pYSuYHmhFAWBuw0H6hQzFuQL_eLQsFT3y6vRhKp_cMiJGDYMwfkcz-7_qYAYbYp2BMttEy7PtHciD0U/s1266/Vector%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="949" data-original-width="1266" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEv4JRiiR6PrGt1rz3FCro56jp7T4jbE37llNnaLMmTCqyiqFeOqHu3IjRl7AatwSdZOjjm7n41-WHACeYJSap9A9Cbpokv90qVSAsDK8jwt0pYSuYHmhFAWBuw0H6hQzFuQL_eLQsFT3y6vRhKp_cMiJGDYMwfkcz-7_qYAYbYp2BMttEy7PtHciD0U/w640-h479/Vector%202.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-size: medium;">A key feature of the Vectors that significantly added to their comfort level was the design of the shoulder straps. The triangular piece of fabric on the back stretches and moved when I moved. This configuration also eliminates the annoying twisting of the straps when you're suiting up. A huge plus!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I think the Vectors are going to be a home run for Grundens and quickly become a favorite among avid anglers. They are very well-designed and at an extremely competitive price. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Grundens-Men-s-Vector-Stockingfoot-Wader-New-for-2024-1330p23950.htm" target="_blank">Grundens Vector Wader</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Waders-c1023.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Check out our wader selection here</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Wading-Boots-c125.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Our Wading Boot Selection</a><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Wading-Gear-c98.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Shop our Wading Accessories Here</span></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br />

The fit on a cold start with several layers was perfect. The first thought I had after putting them on was, "Man, are these things light"! I was really enjoying the lighter weight and breathability as the temps rapidly went from 30's to 50's. This particular day was spent on a smaller river with quite a bit of walking involved and they felt great. I was drift boating the day before and neglected to bring a pack to haul my gear. Fortunately, the bedrock saved the day. The ample chest pocket had plenty of room for everything I needed and then some. <br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I may be in the minority here, but I don't love wet wading. Especially in places where the air temp is high, but the water temp is low. Because of the excellent light weight and great chest pocket storage, the Bedrocks are going to be my go-to wader for early summer steelhead fishing this season. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Check them out here: <a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Grundens-Men-s-Bedrock-Stockingfoot-Wader-New-for-2024-1330p23951.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Grundens Bedrock Wader</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Grundens-c1330.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop other Grundens Waders</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Outerwear-c1074.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop for Outerwear Here</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>

This line is a saltwater or jungle version of the popular Titan Long. The stiff core and coating will not wilt in the heat. Think tarpon and snook in the mangroves, warm water species in South America and even smallmouth on a hot day. Plenty of power to deliver big streamers and surface flies under any condition.</span></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Scientific-Anglers-Amplitude-Textured-Tropical-Jungle-Titan-961p15765.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop SA Jungle line here:</a><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?pageStyle=H&resultCnt=&keyword=jungle+line&submit=Go?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop other Jungle Line options here</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Fly-Rods-c113.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Need a rod for that line? </a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Reels-c115.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Or, do you need a reel?</a><br /></span></div><div><br />

More and more folks are talking Trout Spey and before we know it trout fishing will be in full swing. Those who have fished the winter months and braved the cold, are looking forward to longer, warmer days. Those who haven't braved the winter months outside chasing after trout or steelhead are just looking forward to getting back outside period!</span></h2></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">With the rise in trout "Spey" fishing interest in the past few years, the topic of reels is always good to address. Maybe you got a trout spey rod for Christmas, or maybe you plan on getting a trout spey outfit with your 2023 tax return dollars. What ever the case, we hope to help you sort through some of the better choices that we like here at the Gorge Fly Shop. There's always room for debate when it comes to reels and rods, but again, these are a few of our favorite reels for fishing with a two handed trout spey rod.</span></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiua1TqxgyHdKsskZ996LJ8_6xyOCVsxu8k_1xa2Qq09UhutEuGcsNPIXtL-PHDq4A-9RW7mvslsBC8EX-p5CVXiY4rWHftK_v3_icgU38xEZi86wv02_DrO_SKO2qmJ5_wscoOPh63gfeX3uA7T3snttUbcTczCw0jCN8msbIsU0rnvG86o1YxoVPwvmo/s300/BAUER%20RVR%20MS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="275" data-original-width="300" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiua1TqxgyHdKsskZ996LJ8_6xyOCVsxu8k_1xa2Qq09UhutEuGcsNPIXtL-PHDq4A-9RW7mvslsBC8EX-p5CVXiY4rWHftK_v3_icgU38xEZi86wv02_DrO_SKO2qmJ5_wscoOPh63gfeX3uA7T3snttUbcTczCw0jCN8msbIsU0rnvG86o1YxoVPwvmo/w201-h184/BAUER%20RVR%20MS.jpg" width="201" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY6h_wv8lvM-wSRYEOEnWEpef4O5NqU3Oe6PvvgcJh4tbMJMWNCdkvrIpPvn3CdbNu4r-h4nCLeevpg-XrWW_lrrISyVbjTtNKXOdDHEsiFQ-XM8DnqJxXWo5y3CYrfY4w2RkPesDX5Fu2DzYD1w8eUOSpZR7fXDJdHFCciqBCebdJp2Nury6T7edVtg/s1600/BAUER%20RVR%20MS%20SIDE%20SHOT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY6h_wv8lvM-wSRYEOEnWEpef4O5NqU3Oe6PvvgcJh4tbMJMWNCdkvrIpPvn3CdbNu4r-h4nCLeevpg-XrWW_lrrISyVbjTtNKXOdDHEsiFQ-XM8DnqJxXWo5y3CYrfY4w2RkPesDX5Fu2DzYD1w8eUOSpZR7fXDJdHFCciqBCebdJp2Nury6T7edVtg/w176-h176/BAUER%20RVR%20MS%20SIDE%20SHOT.jpg" width="176" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNyM7KzINmdRJmJzkDgesBq2Aqb5zB7csz_Fq7-YezzfiAsE81jdX2QbhbPmbLUzeBAq_JcFglXRGKubu2k9JZYE4lit2ilKNgfPnGnx6cp1ZS08wxfv47P13ddJLC_0pbD5q0h1m2c1E2QxkLjL0IVX7vQyQapybdjOwZmv9GVgwBh0iXbGYznHOivoo/s1600/BAUER%20RVR%20TOP%20VIEW.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNyM7KzINmdRJmJzkDgesBq2Aqb5zB7csz_Fq7-YezzfiAsE81jdX2QbhbPmbLUzeBAq_JcFglXRGKubu2k9JZYE4lit2ilKNgfPnGnx6cp1ZS08wxfv47P13ddJLC_0pbD5q0h1m2c1E2QxkLjL0IVX7vQyQapybdjOwZmv9GVgwBh0iXbGYznHOivoo/w155-h155/BAUER%20RVR%20TOP%20VIEW.jpg" width="155" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Bauer-RVR-Microspey-Fly-Reels-FREE-FLY-LINE-292p19993.htm" target="_blank">Bauer RVR MS (MicroSpey):</a> <i>(Trout Spey Specific)</i></b></h3><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Bauer came out with a stunning reel specifically designed for trout spey rods a few years back and it has been very popular to say the least. Bauer, for a long time has created great reels, and gained a respectable reputation due to quality and performance. Sporting beautiful asthetics and a silky smooth drag, to help protect some of the lighter tippets we fish when swinging soft hackles and such. This is a dream of a reel and it balances out very well with nearly every trout spey rod, especially the older <b>Winston BIII TH Micro Spey </b>and the newer<b> Winston Microspey Air2 trout spey </b>rod lineups.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The <b>Bauer RVR Micro Spey reel</b> accomadates plenty of backing for your typically trout needs, with plenty of room for Skagit and Scandi heads as well as any itegrated lines. The RVR MS will hold 100 yards of 20# Dacron backing with up to a 360gr head or integrated line. It is pretty rare that you would need more than 100 yards of backing when trout fishing.</span></div><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>"Gem of a reel:</b><i> Bauer is known for crafting reels that have buttery smooth drags and this reel is no exception. Along with its buttery drag, the RVR MS is an aesthetically pleasing reel. The one thing I wish this reel had was an audible retreive. Besides that it is still one of the best Micro/Trout Spey specific reels on the market."</i> - Brock. C</span>.</span></p></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">If you have a 3, 4 or 5wt trout spey rod and you're wanting a top tier trout spey reel, the Bauer RVR MS reel would be a delightful addition to your favorite trout spey rod. If you own or are thinking of owning a Winston Trout Microspey rod, you would do well to match the Bauer RVR MS reel specifically to that rod. Match made in Heavan. That doesn't mean you can't use a different reel, I am just saying they make an amazing couple and most likely would stay together forever.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Additionally, the Bauer RVR MS reel has a full caged frame which is a must when using thin monofiliment running lines. This full caged frame feature eliminates the line slipping through the frame and into the spool when casting. If you've ever experienced this, it is super annoying to say the least. The way this happens is when you are casting for distance and you carry a few loops and release them on the forward cast, the line speed generated by the casting stroke brings the loops up near the reel and sometimes can get wrapped around the reel and then the line slips through the frame and ends up inside the spool.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9qMhupOn43nM2VXbdZWhICIvj6bZ2iDIblDpeMM1bnyndry1X0XMHcc_nWtN9SJ8ubPi46naOFtBVmi6Vl4itRillD8jHUL6HJuyDy5e5xLBNcVPePJ6_i0U_igJ12stN1kkcSWvzuMurtBG4kQI-lnOCLmx3susbMYhVCy_N10vnkGOZcfQ2Do_5Ps/s725/sage-trout-spey-bronze-3_103_detail.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="725" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9qMhupOn43nM2VXbdZWhICIvj6bZ2iDIblDpeMM1bnyndry1X0XMHcc_nWtN9SJ8ubPi46naOFtBVmi6Vl4itRillD8jHUL6HJuyDy5e5xLBNcVPePJ6_i0U_igJ12stN1kkcSWvzuMurtBG4kQI-lnOCLmx3susbMYhVCy_N10vnkGOZcfQ2Do_5Ps/w159-h145/sage-trout-spey-bronze-3_103_detail.jpg" width="159" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Sage-Trout-Spey-Reels-Free-Fly-Line-471p16526.htm" target="_blank">Trout Spey Bronze</a></b></td></tr></tbody></table><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Sage-Trout-Spey-Reels-Free-Fly-Line-471p16526.htm" target="_blank">Sage Trout Spey Reels:</a> <i>(Trout Spey Specific)</i></b></h3><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">As above when talking about the Winston Micro Spey rod being matched with the Bauer RVR MS reel, same goes here if you own or are thinking of owning a Sage Trout Spey HD rod, you would do well to match the Sage Trout Spey reel to it.

As stated, I purchased the 1/2/3 Bronze version which paired BEAUTIFULLY with my Sage Trout Spey HD 2wt rod. I also honestly bought the 1/2/3 size because I wanted it to serve double duty. First being on my 2 and 3 weight trout spey rods, but secondly on my 5 and 6wt single hand rods if needed. I have on occasion, had to use it on a single hand rod and it worked great. Just a tad big, but doable on a 5 or 6wt single handed rod.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I am not big on spare spools when it comes to reels and fishing. I would rather have multiple reels in the event that a reel malfuntions and have back up, rather than having one reel with 3 spare spools and have the reel malfunction and the spare spools of no use to me. It is alsways good to have back up.</span></div><blockquote><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>"Sage Trout Spey Reel: </b> <i>I love this reel, I own several Orvis fly reels and this is every bit as good as those reels.

Oh the sound of the growl this reel makes when your fish is going berzerk. These are beautiful with their dark Grey Gunmetal anodizing. The Original Bougle was last produced in 1939 but only few in numbers with similar anodizing. They are easily converted to Left or Right Hand retreive. The Bougle will look absolutely stunning on any trout spey rod you would want to put it on.</span></span></h4></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In size, the Bougle is a bit smaller than you think, when compared to other reels, in that when you see a diameter of 3 1/2" that does'nt mean that the spool is 3 1/2" with the Bougle. It would be more like 3 1/4" and that is because they measure the diameter from the outside edge of the housing of the crossbars making it seem bigger than it really is.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">That being said, if you wanted to put a Bougle on your 1, 2, 3 or 4wt trout spey rod, I would suggest that you go with the 3 1/2" version. It may look small on the rod, but the reel has some weight to it and it has the right capacity to fit everything.</span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>"Beautiful Reel: </b><i> This is our first Bougle. If you don't have one, they're much more impressive in person than in pictures. It's a well built and beautiful piece of old school engineering. If you like loud reels, this one is great! Based on it's design, you will never have your running line slip through a gap to get stuck somwhere it shouldn't be like some reels. Depending on how you mount it, it takes getting used to, to palm the drag, as it does not have a palming ring to the outside of the spool. The spool is contained within the frame. Thus, you have to palm the face of the spool. It ups the challenge a bit in a fun way!"</i> - Thomas Battaglia.</span></p></blockquote><p> </p><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmO_R3pg6KSRxROgQOGwOMk0gewaCDwOJOKzhj0KWmU3Y9viTT-hp92HaPTVJ2nN1yRvefwKBQbWTWxyJ6_wt4Sq_lrDVYPdllV8Rx2353WHiSUNQwJG1AzJxD_KWcilT4UXxw3puN4neuW0ARKURNW5j-GI2k3dZRht04uQ5fKHcgTOTUv6QIiiaWom4/s1000/hardy_perfect_1912-fly-reel-5_912_detail.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmO_R3pg6KSRxROgQOGwOMk0gewaCDwOJOKzhj0KWmU3Y9viTT-hp92HaPTVJ2nN1yRvefwKBQbWTWxyJ6_wt4Sq_lrDVYPdllV8Rx2353WHiSUNQwJG1AzJxD_KWcilT4UXxw3puN4neuW0ARKURNW5j-GI2k3dZRht04uQ5fKHcgTOTUv6QIiiaWom4/w152-h152/hardy_perfect_1912-fly-reel-5_912_detail.jpg" width="152" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Hardy-1912-Perfect-Fly-Reels-Free-Fly-Line-703p19989.htm" target="_blank">Narrow Spool P</a><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Hardy-1912-Perfect-Fly-Reels-Free-Fly-Line-703p19989.htm" target="_blank">erfect</a></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>Hardy 1912 <u>Narrow Spool</u> Perfect:</b> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Now this is a true classic, made by "master" craftsman in Alnwick England where it all began.

The Marquis LWT, the Bougle, the Narrow Spool Perfect or the Widespool Perfect you're good to go. I'd like to note that as you go up from the Marquis, to the Bougle then to the Perfects the growling sound gets more refined. Meaning that, the sound seems to tighten up. The Marquis sounds like a few ball bearings in a coffee can, while the Bougle seems a bit less agressive and then finally the Perfect even lesser aggressive. I don't know how else to explain it.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB8FXFRWfkTVwizh56VHqxwRsF8uT_7eEWZ7UUL4SPD1edsuq8jgWVZNoug89oDZXAX-EttZQQaPa6UC-gRCd9a8r3sqSRfZrdwhG2FoT63fuOt4EzK4ciyiJioh_wLs_xgH_ZbL4ns9loqwvTHFW3Eh2BjrbJig9wRipkadDwFjOYHRMvk4Cnz8woyaA/s1600/20230821_152358_576_detail.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB8FXFRWfkTVwizh56VHqxwRsF8uT_7eEWZ7UUL4SPD1edsuq8jgWVZNoug89oDZXAX-EttZQQaPa6UC-gRCd9a8r3sqSRfZrdwhG2FoT63fuOt4EzK4ciyiJioh_wLs_xgH_ZbL4ns9loqwvTHFW3Eh2BjrbJig9wRipkadDwFjOYHRMvk4Cnz8woyaA/w136-h102/20230821_152358_576_detail.jpg" width="136" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Agate Detail</b></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Agate line guard is just sweet looking and as they say..."it's icing on the cake.

The is a subtle difference in the sound as line is going out but it still calms your soul like a kitten purring in your ear. If you're a cat lover you know what I mean. I am not a cat lover, but I have had a few kittens purr in my ear and it just makes me think of them. </span></span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">If you like the Hardy Wide Spool Perfect and want to adorn your favorite trout spey rod with one, go with the 3 3/8" for your 2, 3 or 4wt rods.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">In closing</span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">, these by far are not all the reels you could potentially put on your trout spey rods.

This does a couple things for you in that #1. the larger reel balances out the longer two handed rods and #2. it gives you room for the appropriate amount of backing, your running line and the thicker Skagit and Scandi style heads that are used with the two handed rods. I own a 4wt trout spey rod that I put a Galvan Torque T-7 reel on and it balance out the rod perfectly and had plenty of room for the line system. <i>(see photo below)...</i></span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi02pAqa1Ueg9jRqOxYpvagxRsZnbwy3iNe2202zNdmeogDWmIzmyQ4FurH4WPZb0lEjRX7EkORAGIpHU7h7-9CCE9xEeD-D_0IH2JTlb42n4zYhCWHDT_i3gmhd8s6_TbCbmdyXbtEpnOpuJ55yAwPzt63ZeysOj1PzRKKpiNtKEh0bLkG9oqovAAbcJU/s1920/JOHNS%20BIG%20MS%20TROUT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi02pAqa1Ueg9jRqOxYpvagxRsZnbwy3iNe2202zNdmeogDWmIzmyQ4FurH4WPZb0lEjRX7EkORAGIpHU7h7-9CCE9xEeD-D_0IH2JTlb42n4zYhCWHDT_i3gmhd8s6_TbCbmdyXbtEpnOpuJ55yAwPzt63ZeysOj1PzRKKpiNtKEh0bLkG9oqovAAbcJU/w640-h360/JOHNS%20BIG%20MS%20TROUT.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">My 11' 4wt Winston BIII TH MicroSpey rod with a Galvan Torque T-7 reel, oh and yeah, a toad of a Deschutes River Redside...look at that thing!</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span>Note:</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <i>Pictured above is a Galvan T-7 reel, that at the time, I used on my 4wt, but I must say it was not my favorite reel for the job.

We've caught our fair share of steelhead using other methods, but swinging flies is definitly our favorite way.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">We met early morning for the considerable drive to our launch destination. We wanted to be on the water just before daylight to take full advantage of the day. Drive time chats consisted of almost everything steelhead and how the river was in near perfect condition. He had already had some success in prior days and needless to say, I was pretty stoked for the day. I've <b>ALWAY'S</b> had a great time fishing with Sam, regardless of whether or not fish are caught. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Never any pressure to perform on his end or mine. Just two buds out for a day of fishing.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I get a kick out of Sam because in every run I've ever fished with him, before we even step in the water he's bringing the confidence level up by saying...</span><i style="font-family: arial;">"this is my favorite run on the whole river. we oughtta get one here." </i><span style="font-family: arial;"> I like that. I mean, might as well be confident in what you're doing and where your fishing. Confidence is part of the game, a big part. What I think is funny about it is that he literally says it in every run, no joke. When he says that, In my mind I think..."what's my favorite run?" and the responce to myself is the one I am currently fishing in.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">My intention for this post is to talk about the "Come Tight" part of it all. Undoubtably you've heard the saying...<i><b>"the TUG is the Drug"</b></i> and even though this saying has been around for a long time, It's still the pinnacle of the process. It's that moment we dream of and can't wait for. We endure hours, sometimes days waiting for the eat and sometimes we question our own sanity, especially in the winter. At times, it can take extreme patience between grabs. Getting caught up in the rhythm of it all, we make a sweet cast, set the fly up for the swing and then start talking to ourselves...<i><b>"man I should just get crushed right now!"</b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I've tried to explain it to my wife, my kids, anyone who will listen many times, that catching a steelhead is always nice, but when I step into a juicy run, my adrenalin is already in full swing. The anticipation. My heart is pounding, the excitement of the possiblity of hooking and landing a steelhead is so strong in me, that I've told friends that I need to catch a fish to calm down. In comparison to some fisheries where the adrenaline rush comes after the hook set...with swinging flies for steelhead, the rush starts the second I look at a run and step in. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm sure we can agree, when it comes to hunting steelhead, it can consume you if not careful. Everything becomes all about steelhead, your thoughts, your conversations and you life style reflect a die hard steelheader. This applies to fly fisherman and gear fisherman alike. At this point in my life there are only two fish that I've pursued so far that have kept me awake at night in anticpation, and those are Steelhead and Tarpon. If you're like me, you go over your equipment like a surgeon, you make list to make sure you don't forget anything and the days leading up to your trip are filled with prepartion for the day. You are checking the weather forcast, the river level forcast on and on...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>This!...this is the reason you endure the elements of time, weather and patience!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhls1SIBJOe9V5T3s8HgNqkANo8nrETZ2FX0Gwsnu6eMRlj3r3zGBKfBRiSQ-4g_lkKHhWWkrgsy4wWpbCv2LwtA6czp-akiZwZJe9glQMArsImQhdPCt9hz0IGslmCMA6o8eMoSf7HQWG5j2N9imfcoasAQBGZRuNZXAEW1IwYR94hrYOq7zz_4pXABzE/s1024/Sam's%20Beautiful%20Steelhead.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="849" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhls1SIBJOe9V5T3s8HgNqkANo8nrETZ2FX0Gwsnu6eMRlj3r3zGBKfBRiSQ-4g_lkKHhWWkrgsy4wWpbCv2LwtA6czp-akiZwZJe9glQMArsImQhdPCt9hz0IGslmCMA6o8eMoSf7HQWG5j2N9imfcoasAQBGZRuNZXAEW1IwYR94hrYOq7zz_4pXABzE/w637-h849/Sam's%20Beautiful%20Steelhead.png" width="637" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Look at that thing! I mean, stunning! Sam did everything right after the eat!</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Let's talk about the <i><b>"come tight" </b></i>for a bit. When I guided, most folks would ask what do I do after they eat the fly? That was one of the major questions often asked and rightfully so. It's an important issue, and inquiring minds wanted to know. Especially those first time customers or those that just didn't do it very often and hadn't become seasoned by experience. Funny thing about answering the question is that no matter how articulated and consice I was in explaining the answer, almost everyone would absolutely forget everything we talked about when the eat actually happend. I've seen folks freeze on the eat, dazed and confused to what just happened, to folks that set the hook so hard that if they did stick the fish it most likely would have broken it's neck or died of shock.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">There's a fair amount of debate out there on whether or not to carry a loop, to set the hook or not to set the hook. I personally don't carry a loop and I personally set the hook. I personally LOVE to set the hook! When I say "set the hook" it's really not what you think. My setting the hook is more like a steady long sweep with my rod tip low and towards the bank. It's not a break neck type of hook set, but again it's a firm side sweep with steady pressure once the fish has turned and taking out line. I think of it as something like tug of war. When the fish has turned and taking line, I simply sweep to the bank side and pull on the tight line to help "seat the hook" in the corner of the jaw <i>(see photo below)</i>. This has proven to be very, very effective for me over the years. That doesn't mean its 100% foolproof and I never miss or lose a fish, because I do. But I'll tell you that, for me, it's pretty rare that I miss or lose very many fish in a season.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Others swear by carrying a loop, that it improves their odds drastically, and it may. I just haven't personally experienced that it does. Folks that carry loops, lose or miss fish too. If you haven't made a choice try both and see which you prefer. I truly love using a click & pawl type reel, such as the <b>Hardy Marquis Salmon series reels</b> or the <b>Hardy Widespool Perfects. </b> This allows the fish to easily turn and take line from the reel before I set the hook. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Which is why some carry a loop, in that when the fish turns and takes the loop out, you can then come tight on the fish and the odds of successfully landing the fish are increased. Even when I'm using a non-click & pawl type reel, such as a <b>Tibor Signature Series</b>, <b>Galvan Torque </b>or<b> Sage Spey reel</b>, I'll set the drag loose enough, that when a fish eats and turns with the fly, it can take line without causing a backlash. When he takes enough line out that I can't stand it any longer, I'll set the brakes on him by putting my hand on the reel before coming tight on em. Hope that all makes sence.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2vRHZubyh5DbK43El8IpOuw2SD4o3mn1GkhxcAJTUq819PajyE1d-sa2Pvs-LyOVtgF6ahD4ciO6rebqkJk1Yb6TMaZAleUAOvzlYdc34f7s8G0F9wGGzObCWChoRH-k44Em40P_f0u5_UPwq2T651NAXvKOoDF2NE8jnPkeAjF1-WTbMH0vXCp-J58/s1024/John%20Klickitat%20Steelhead.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="852" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2vRHZubyh5DbK43El8IpOuw2SD4o3mn1GkhxcAJTUq819PajyE1d-sa2Pvs-LyOVtgF6ahD4ciO6rebqkJk1Yb6TMaZAleUAOvzlYdc34f7s8G0F9wGGzObCWChoRH-k44Em40P_f0u5_UPwq2T651NAXvKOoDF2NE8jnPkeAjF1-WTbMH0vXCp-J58/w429-h516/John%20Klickitat%20Steelhead.png" width="429" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Summer Steelhead with a 'come back" fly, the Kalamath Intruder!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Side Note: </b>In the photo above, this steelhead had originally tried to eat a <b>Jerry French</b> Black and Blue <b>"Dirty Hoh"</b> <i>(photo below on the left)</i> during the swing, he grabbed it 3 times but just wouldn't commit.

So, I tied on the much smaller <b>"Kalamath Intruder"</b> in the same Black and Blue color <i>(because that's what it originally went after)</i> and the very first swing, nearly got the rod ripped from my hands with an explosive, amazing eat! Look closely and you'll notice that the hook on the Kalamath Intruder is ever so slightly bent out.

I don't really know. Maybe it's self encouragement to help endure the elements until I come tight again. Maybe it's in hopes of encouraging others to do the same. Maybe it's me reminising all the hours and sometimes days between fish that I slow down a bit more and discover something new on the river that I hadn't seen before. Maybe I'm realizing that it's not all about the numbers of fish I catch but the expeirence of each one that I do. There's something about a fish that makes you loose sleep over it, that brings your heart rate up like a work out, when you finally get that eat, something about them that makes you spend major time, money and effort in pursuing them.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I guess my point might be...<b>"that it ALL matters."</b> Everything done from start, to the point of releasing the prize matters. It keeps you connected to the sport and what you love doing. So, the next time you're lucky enough to come tight, try your best to be calm, cool and collected. Understand that it's a game. You win some, you lose some, but it's fun to play. You'll find what works best for you and you'll become efficient at it and when you do, the "odds will forever be in your favor."</span><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Book a Trip w/Sam:</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Sam Sickles | </b></span><b style="font-family: arial;">Steelhead Outfitters</b></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Web:</b> <a href="http://steelheadoutfitters.com">steelheadoutfitters.com</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Ph</b>: 541-400-0855</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Fly-Fishing-Guides-local-c479.htm" target="_blank">Book with another GFS Guide Friend.</a></b></span></div><div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Thank you for spending your time reading this, I hope you enjoyed it.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">GFS Team</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">John G.</span></div><div>

This combination creates rods that bring together high line speed and exceptional loop control with a light and lively feel in the hand. These traits have become known as Scott’s signature fast with feel action. It gives the rods a wide bandwidth of performance for fishing at a range of distances, and for using a variety of flies and techniques with the same rod. Most of all it means having fun on the water and enjoying the rod in your hand.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #424657; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Features -</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><ul style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">Carbon Link - Our latest rods combine new precision construction techniques with our innovative new resin system to bond carbon fibers in a very dense matrix.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">X-Core - Enhanced feel, incredible stability and unequalled performance. X-Core combines the industry’s leading composite technologies with cutting edge design.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">ARC 2 - Our Advanced Reinforced Carbon (ARC) adds directional stability and hoop strength while minimizing additional weight.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">Multi Modulus - By varying the fiber tensile modulus along the length of the rod, we’re able to precisely control the stiffness and recovery speed of our blanks. The result is a rod that loads and unloads more smoothly.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">ReAct - ReAct counteracts energy sapping vibrations by speeding the recovery of the blank without the need to stiffen the rod with more material. This puts the feel in fast. And that’s a really good thing.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 3px;">Natural Finish - Our natural finish blank is built to exacting tolerances. Scott's advanced resin systems permeate the blank, leaving a durable finish that will stand up to years of abuse.</li></ul></div></div></div></div><div><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Scott-Fly-Rods-c1110.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop Scott Fly Rods</a></div><div><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Fly-Lines-c935.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop Fly Lines</a></div><div><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Boats-c89.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Shop Watercraft</a></div><div>

This was four months before his high school graduation. He completed his classes early so he could open the shop, and then walked with his class in June of the same year. </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbqbY-IZJ7DmxjwO70PRhGFMHdZQ3OpmdKXCMxsIWn0JRQloiexceAnhANpnHyKM5ggSc2VgrLHa3_mrdq85WAcZ7Y9yzrboY-xBac6f1-7JzY_01z5rfcwjmOdSyTILHaUfek4_1eFpp1FVtBae_huDMC7tz_oSQzQRQqYYhQSSMfOQrTEKs1T5UliFM/s1084/Screenshot_20240228_111731_Facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1084" data-original-width="1055" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbqbY-IZJ7DmxjwO70PRhGFMHdZQ3OpmdKXCMxsIWn0JRQloiexceAnhANpnHyKM5ggSc2VgrLHa3_mrdq85WAcZ7Y9yzrboY-xBac6f1-7JzY_01z5rfcwjmOdSyTILHaUfek4_1eFpp1FVtBae_huDMC7tz_oSQzQRQqYYhQSSMfOQrTEKs1T5UliFM/w389-h400/Screenshot_20240228_111731_Facebook.jpg" width="389" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Original Gorge Fly Shop Logo</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Travis Duddles had an idea to open a fly shop. Convincing his mom that the worst that could happen was he would end up with some extra fishing gear and would have to find another career option. With his business plan and hard work he has built Gorge Fly Shop to what it is today. Travis runs his business with integrity, honesty and passion. He must be doing something right!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div>Gorge Fly Shop proudly serves customers from all over the world. With over 50 of the top brands in the industry, we stock gear for every fish, in every price point. Customers return for our friendly, knowledgeable customer service, and our wide stock of gear. Being able to pick up the phone, give us a call and get correct answers to your questions, and honest opinions on the right gear for your needs. </div><div><br /></div><div>In 2019 Travis and Lyndsey made the decision to move off of Oak Street in downtown Hood River Oregon. Gorge Fly Shop was growing, additional staff, additional inventory, so we needed additional space. With lots of hard work, planning and support from family, friends, and staff Gorge Fly Shop moved to it's current location. This new location is right off of highway 35 just about 7 minutes from our previous location. With ample free parking, casting lawn, and space for our employees to work comfortably, plus and probably the most important is time to focus on each and every customer that walks through the door. </div><div> </div><div>Gorge Fly Shop crew is hard at work running the day to day operations. Travis is still doing the books for the shop but now has time to follow his passion in other areas. Yes, this does include fishing, but also he enjoys hunting, travel, racing his corvette in local autocross competitions, and spending time with his family. </div><div><br /></div><div>Travis, Lyndsey and the entire staff of Gorge Fly Shop want to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to our customers, friends, staff and family for your support. Because without you we would not be here today.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYzjAlPHp7f4F16czkS0HE60bS0hVV4uAjW8hOPVAMGESU9Ien5WaoNoDsgMq-YXFYEwQkXY5lZYTCVRjVwcc4nNvaoee2nireH38tgX6S0sgnAOpQSuBQB8lL6mMvmkXLIg2-RfA4-RJyHsotJxT7hq6reaijfq35KSrVkz_qw3e8eiLwSC6vKer_HBua/s1640/meetOURteam24-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="1640" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYzjAlPHp7f4F16czkS0HE60bS0hVV4uAjW8hOPVAMGESU9Ien5WaoNoDsgMq-YXFYEwQkXY5lZYTCVRjVwcc4nNvaoee2nireH38tgX6S0sgnAOpQSuBQB8lL6mMvmkXLIg2-RfA4-RJyHsotJxT7hq6reaijfq35KSrVkz_qw3e8eiLwSC6vKer_HBua/w640-h244/meetOURteam24-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Left to Right: Angie, John, Karrie, Charlie, Travis, Greg, Lyndsey and Callum</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Ask-the-Experts-Meet-the-Team-d187.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Meet the Team</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/3200+Lower+Mill+Dr,+Hood+River,+OR+97031/@45.6297981,-121.5184574,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x54960605e01a93df:0x7bbd72ca3a2c8c4!8m2!3d45.6297981!4d-121.5184574!16s%2Fg%2F11f40mkjnm?entry=ttu?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank">Driving Directions - Come Visit Us</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin?v=001iwPfb6IFpjX5e99ZPO89bL0rJhKCr2UC4lWSrBlsmt_t87KVtEuTCNCF01p_05u0Yw5L6I0m0RiN1zmNmcxBZo6CCIjWpNwD?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sign up for our Newsletter</span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.gorgeflyshop.com/store/pc/Sale-Closeouts-c38.htm?idaffiliate=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Shop our Closeout Selection</span></a></div><div>
