    Good advice for newer anglers looking for a rod.

    Fast forward to the present and it's easy to armchair quarterback what happened with these warranties. I mean what were they thinking?! I slam my tailgate with the rod in the way and you will buy me a new one? Not a very sound business plan. Kelly is correct in stating that the rods today are...

    Good advice for newer anglers looking for a rod.

    Thanks for posting this as he's likely forgotten more about fly rod design than most of us will ever know. It's also important to match the rod with the proper line that works for you and the rod.

    If I had to wear those I'd make sure to pack penicillin along as they might be toxic.

    Fly Tying Materials Travel Bag

    I have two JW Outfitters Scout Pontoon Boats. The newest was bought in 1996 and both are still in use. I heard that 3M bought them out and shut them down which was sad to hear because they were a great company.

    I'm not having any success in finding the funny part although it is still fun I guess. But to add insult to injury, all my older friends keep sending me those emails that contain montages of those "good old days" with the muscle cars, and sock hops, and pretty girls with bob-cut hair, and Steve...

    Thank you for that Divad. That was very informative. I think I'll be buying this one for my own use. I have yet to try it and can't wait to see what it feels like. Thanks again for taking the time to locate that link.
