Fly Line Mat-30" (Slate/White)

I can't tell you how many anglers a year that I watch struggle with line management. This truly is a great system. Just move it with the wind direction or the angler's casting direction. I've used a casting bucket for many years, and found this to be more efficient. Great product!
Thanks, Captain Buddy Ferber

Still figuring out optimal placement on skiff deck for different wind conditions. Seems to work best when it’s placed downwind and aft of the angler. Absolutely helped keep the stripped line out of the water (and trolling motor). The default unit is shipped with short and long fingers. Not sure what the optimal pattern is or why you wouldn’t want all long fingers. I may order some more long fingers.
Maybe the seller could include some suggestions for use. Pro tip: if you are fishing in a really wavy spot and occasionally taking a wave across the bow, keep a foot on the mat to prevent it being sluiced overboard. If a wave gets under the mat it’s going to slide overboard. I may attach a thin line with a crab float on the end to prevent losing the mat in combat conditions.

It was absolutely great on the first day until it flew out of the boat and sank but my angler has purchased me a new one just waiting for it to arrive

The absolute best fly line mat on the market. What a difference maker this is on windy days and calm days alike. Almost can’t fish without it, I’m HOOKED!

First live action test of both the large and small units and very pleased. Quality stands out for sure and large one worked very well actually giving a bigger area to capture the line. The plus was I am trying the small one on the poling platform. I had a fly rod up there for backup of my buddy on the casting platform. Has great potential up there as well and never in the way. And it has slots built in that helped secure it. Well fine!
