2021 Cheeky Schoolie Tournament Team Entry

Striper Man by CD Clarke

Renowned sportsman and artist CD Clarke created this beautiful oil in honor of his friend, "super-guide," Paul Dixon. Never far from the outdoors, C.D.'s lifelong interest in the subject (particularly angling and hunting) has made it a substantial portion of his work. Boats, leaky waders, fishing rods, wet wool, bird dogs, decoys, and shotguns are integral parts of C.D.s life. He paints them with a sportsman's understanding, making his work essential to the true sportsman's art collection. CD has exhibited all over the country, including (we are proud to say) AMFF! This wonderful work is an 8" x 10" oil, which frames out at 13 1/2"x 15 1/2".

Abel TR 4/5 reel & Airflo WF-4 Floating Line

The return of a classic. This Deep Green/Walnut Abel TR stays true to the roots of the original, but with a striking modern design and feel. The partial porting of the frame draws from the Abel lineage, and its unique features are as inventive as anything Abel has ever produced. Crafted by our expert machinists in Montrose, Colorado, the TR is a lightweight masterpiece. An integrated precision-balanced clicker on the spool eliminates the need for a counterweight, yielding a clean look and retaining an iconic click-pawl sound. The pronounced palming rim is deliberately shaped to manually control drag pressure in all fishing conditions. The TR also features a large-arbor spool engineered to reduce line memory and increase retrieval rate. Machined stainless steel accents on both the frame and spool add that extra level of detail found only in an Abel reel. Designed & machined by trout junkies in Colorado.

Chasing the Taper DVD

As society grows increasingly addicted to disposable goods, a few master craftsmen continue the labor-intensive tradition of making every part of a bamboo fly rod by hand. Using 19th-century techniques, they sacrifice marriages, money and sanity in their attempt to keep this unsustainable craft alive. Chasing the Taper is an intimate look at their relentless pursuit of perfection against the backdrop of a world increasingly obsessed with mass production.

Stu Apte Signed, Limited Edition Book and Row of Stamps signed by Stu and Lefty

Calling all angling bibliophiles and philatelists! Stu reached out and told us Paul is "one of my favorite people in this whole, wide world," and kindly donated his signed, embossed, numbered, limited edition book (191/200) My Life in Fishing and a row of 5 stamps released by the US Postal Department in 1991. Stu signed his Apte Tarpon Fly stamp and Lefty Kreh's signature is on his Deceiver stamp. If that isn't enough, Stu also included one of the last flies he tied matching the one depicted on the stamp. And just in case none of your friends believe how cool all of this is, we'll include a letter to us from Stu so their provenance can be verified - thanks Stu!

Rise Level Series 9', 8wt, 4pc Fly Rod

The Rise Fishing Company is founded on guides needing a fly rod that can stand being #professionallyAbusedDaily.The Level Series Is made from a proprietary blend of high modulus graphite. Due to its ease of casting and precise accuracy, it's their best-selling rod.

During the launch of Rise Fishing Company, the owners spent hundreds of days fishing the back bays of Long Island and trudging through the rough waters off the coast of Montauk. They saw anglers on the bow of a boat, bouncing up and down and side-to-side. Then to make things even harder, driving winds were thrown into the equation.

Taking on all of these factors, Rise designed a fly rod that delivers extreme line speed and pinpoint accuracy in the toughest conditions. The Level Series has a stiff butt and a more equal distribution of weight through the blank. Not only does it make fighting fish easier, it helps in casting multiple lines.

After months of testing, the rods went into production and became a popular choice for the top guides on the east end of Long Island. Its popularity continues as guides and anglers across the country realize its potential in multiple situations. Beginners and novices enjoy its simplicity of casting and guides appreciate its durability.

And did we mention that Paul Dixon is a Rise Pro?

Van Staal VF Fly Reel 12wt

From the outset, the design goal of the Van Staal VF Fly Reel was to "engineer in strength and machine out weight." For starters, Van Staal machined the drag cartridge directly into the frame increasing overall rigidity while reducing weight. As with Van Staal's extremely popular surf reels, the drag system is completely sealed to avoid the possibility of saltwater and sand intrusion and other sources of malfunction. And like the VR Series of spin reels, Van Staal utilizes a unique forging process that increases the strength of 6061-T6 aluminum and maximizes the rigidity to weight ratio.
VF Fly Reels are incredibly lightweight - the 12 weight comes in at 8.86 ounces. You will appreciate this feature when you spend a day covering water in search of stripers or roosterfish from the surf.
The eight-weight to twelve weights are the "HD" models and optimized for saltwater with a large arbor spool design, easy to grip reel handle and a matte silver type 2 anodization that will mask the inevitable dings and scratches that come with rock hopping at night or scrambling to the bow in an Albie blitz.
Van Staal has built a reputation for some of the best and most durable reels in saltwater fishing, and the VF fly reel builds on this legacy.
