Howler Brothers
We are Howler Brothers. We are not really related by blood. But we are bonded by many shared callings: Surfing, fishing, paddling and the good things that come with these pursuits. Things like fire pits, really good tequila, limes, and pre-dawn coffee. Above all we’re united by a belief in doing things the honest and pure way (which is not usually the easy way). We design and craft all our garments, and everything we make, with these passions and values in mind. Put our products to the test. Heed the call.
Farlex Reels
Just like transitioning from a single hand rod to a Spey/Double handed rod there was a learning curve on the reels. What is marketed for Steelhead and Salmon are large reels most often with drags whether cork, composite or other; they are usually overkill. It took me some time to realize that drags, when set too tight, often popped the fish instantly or over the course of a battle, or to light and the reel would free spool resulting in a mess. What I found was the drag needed to be just tight enough to prevent the reel from free spooling on a hot running fish. In the process of this experience I was introduced to Hardy gear–and–pawl (GP) reels and immensely enjoyed the tactile experience, the noise the reel made on a hot running fish really added to the experience. Also, it became obvious that the GP reels were adequate to prevent free spool. Secondarily, most modern reels are large arbor and typically 5” in diameter, I find these larger diameter reels to be a bit annoying during certain cast like the double spey and snake roll as they create some undesirable axial pendulum action to the cast. My preference is a more compact wider reel that minimizes the effect.
Tibor Fly Reels
No matter how technological the fishing industry becomes, it’s nice to know it still holds a place for the timeless values of integrity and Old World craftsmanship. In the world of fly fishing, that place is occupied by legends like Billy Pate, Lefty Kreh and a Hungarian tool and die master with a passion for fly fishing and a gift for reel design: Tibor “Ted” Juracsik.

Simms Fishing Products
Simms is a brand founded on the pillars of innovation. It was the brainchild of visionary angler John Simms who saw a need to develop better waders and accessories than what was then available on the market. That quest led to the development of Simms Fishing Products in 1980. During that era, Simms was one of the first companies worldwide to introduce neoprene waders, which provided enhanced warmth and waterproofing armor for serious anglers pushing the limits of their fishing pursuits.
The brand continued to progress under the Jackson–based Life–Link International banner through the ’80s. But it took a giant leap in 1993, when current owner, K.C. Walsh, a passionate angler and entrepreneur, acquired the company and relocated it to Bozeman. Walsh grew up in a flyfishing family and it was his life–long dream to live, and work, and play in Montana.
CF Burkheimer
Kerry Burkheimer is driven by two things; building premium grade fly rods, and making them the best fishing and casting tools possible. For 32 years his artisan rod shop has been producing the world’s finest fly rods. Most of today’s fly rods are in his mind “too fast”, great for the parking lot shoot-out but lacking several desired qualities when stream side. He believes today’s angler needs a fly rod that gets the job done with soul and vibe, not fatigue. First impression upon hearing this is slow and soft, well maybe by mental comparison, but get one in your hand and you will not only feel the deeper action, but also experience the incredible line speed they generate. Just what Kerry has always desired in a fly rod.
BECAUSE THEY FLAT WORK, AND ARE THE BEST AVAILABLE! BAR-NONE!
