those flys are huge. Back in the day when I fished for trout I tied flies for a few shops around here. The biggest I tied were on 18 hooks and I had lots of calls for 24 or 26 sized dries. I can't even see a 26 fly any more. So you guys school me some. What sized rods and reels are you using, sinking lines or lead heads? Bring me back into the fold.

Geartracs are the most universal. All the track manufacturers are pretty much compatible with most track accessories. YakAttack seems to have the best selection in mounting options.

You can always buy adapters for any rod holder in the market to adapt to the track system, just make sure you have the proper heavy duty track and backing (washers/nuts, fullback, etc).

When its time to get the flyrod holder, get the Scotty. I tried the RAM holder and really didn't like it. If you don't clip the RAM shut, the rod falls out. For the Scotty, you just lay the rod in there and it will stay, and then there's a strap for extra security.
