Can I get a warranty repair by Christmas Eve ?
Or could I just seam grip plasti dip the livingshit out of it? Never been deployed enroute just sat in the bag for a billion years
Serious inquiry no troll
Oh yeah bought it circa 95ish, fish four season
What's the course of action? Life or death, dreams of returning to the fray,field,whatever,
Please advise

"95ish" . . . as in 1995? Nylon coatings do not last forever. Time for some polyurethane hillbilly gear repair. Is there a warranty on that rig?

Your fly? Again? Just Zip it up. Nuff said. ps, more good advice: keep your fly away from hungry fish as they may see a potential wiggleworm like meal in there. Jus sayin

You're welcome.







Oh? Rainfly? Rainfly? Crap, well, nevermind that advise. #Emilylattla checking out.

20ish year old synthetics + spontaniish delams
= even if you fix the current issue how on earth would you trust it on a wall?

ie: time to bin it... and if you use one that infrequently take micronut up on his rental service... haha.

Yep...gonna die fer sure....since it's already screwed, there's no loss in experimentation. I'd order a new one & put my scientist hat on.
You're not condsidering going out there until Spring, right? Reentry into the fray after an extended period is best done in nice conditions with lengthening days. Those nights are long right now.

I've had some luck with aerosol plas-t-dip. Hard to find for some reason or another.

aye cap'n still underneath the bunker. finished replacing body parts, now tending to to the mouldering gear pile. looking to outfit for the new millennia. that 4 season ledge is still good to go for another million years despite its' (our) antique status.

Ho Ho Ho to you and yours.

Wade, single or double? I could possibly loan my double if you are in dire need, and your objective cannot wait till fish season.
