My new flyrod issues...

[dryfly]

OK...I know I am new here...but I gotta say that while shopping for a new flyrod I find myself thinking about my girlfriend. I want my new flyrod to be more responsive and have more flex.....I want to be able to feel it all the way down to the butt....And I want my new flyrod to have more action...be fast at times and slow at times....Capable of delicate presentations when needed....and to be a cannon when needed. Nice components is a plus too....

I think I have issues...

Not bad advise

The rod requires less maintenance, usually comes with a warranty and is generally easier to replace.

Your rod wont yell at you about using a kitchen cutting board to cut up foam strips for fly tying (yes, that happened the other night. it's a f*cking cutting board!)

As I got older I began to realize that the two most exciting things in life are:
My fly going down
And seeing my rod in a lady's hand

One rod .A poor craftsman blames his tool s . GG

Your rod will never complain when you spend weekends with other rods.

Take the pink pill, you can't have a fast rod and a slower rod at the same time, but you can get a nice compromise. Go to several fly shops and ask to see and cast some rods. That is the only way to know and even then you'll ask yourself, did I get the right rod?

With threads like this, the mods should get credit on their purgatory time.

 

[bikerfish]
