Author Topic: Sighter Swap (Read 3222 times)

Since its clear we all like something differnt for our sighters and buying a bunch of mono to try out can be expensive why not do a sighter swap. I figure if we can get 10 guys signed up we can all swap sighters than we use. I think we should all use something differnt so we don't get doubles of anything and we should all use Alain's construction method to be fair. http://troutlegend.com/forum/fips-mouche-gear-talk/coiled-monofilament-sighter-construction/ We can make the deadline a month after we get 10 guys signed up. I will take the sighters and break them up and mail them out. Who ever signs up can PM me their address and I will PM mine to you. Hope we can get enough guys to do this.

I'll start:
1 Nick Naclerio (Sufix Seige Neon Tangerine)
2 Chris Michels (Amnesia Red) (Don't worry Chris I'll do yours)
3 Mark Hanes (Golden Stren)
4 Dejon Hamann (3 color variation)
5 Rich Strolis (red and yellow micro)
6 Josh Almond (surprise)
7 panhead (golden stren/modified)
8 Domenick Swentosky (backing)

I more meant I think you will have your hands full in the coming weeks but that too you cheap bastard.

Count me in. I've been exclusively using Alain's but I'll chip in a 3 color variation ala Brett Bishops suggestions.

Awsome, glad to see people signing up for this.

Josh Almond · « **Reply #7 on:** December 27, 2009, 01:03:16 AM »

I'm in although undecided...I personally use hi vis gold but will check the local big box for something interesting. I will then proceed wrapping it around something boiling it then freezing it then shipping it

Count me in,
I do a golden stren with a neet little trick, the ends are a little bit easer to tie in.

Panhead.

Only three more guys and we can do this.

Nick Naclerio · « **Reply #10 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:20:40 PM »

Just a bump here to see if we can get ten. If not we can do it with seven or whatever we end up with.

Dejon Hamann · « **Reply #11 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:25:12 PM »

Oh oh! I guess I'm going to have to order up some line

im waiting on my green ande mono to show up then ill play

Domenick Swentosky · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:36:36 AM »

Well, the only sighters I've used so far are straight mono, small vinyl sleeves, and the backing sighters that I made. I see that you don't have ten yet. Is this strictly a coiled sighter swap or can I get in with my chartreuse backing sighters?

Enjoy the day
Domenick Swentosky

Nick Naclerio · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2010, 05:56:49 PM »

I was just thinking we were all going mono but if no one else cares then I don't. Any one care?

Mark Hanes · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:48:25 PM »

Works for me!

Todd Oishi · « **Reply #16 on:** January 06, 2010, 07:23:31 PM »

Keeping an open mind and experimenting with all things related to nymphing is always a great idea...

Cheers,
Todd

Dejon Hamann · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:03:04 PM »

That's a good reminder for sure Todd! Most of the comp guys I know and converse with, especially on this forum, really try to stick to that rule. Even when it's not much fun

However, I know a few of the guys in this swap are not currently or have plans in competing, so...
