puts the tip around 90' from me plus the 15' leader. Who needs a T&T?

No need to be sorry, I have heard repeatedly that some of the Airflo lines,
especially specialty stuff and sinkers are very good. Due to my experiences
in the past I would not buy any, but I have no doubt whatsoever that those
who say they are OK know what they are talking about.

One other point, many people are of the opinion that top quality gear has to
cost top prices. There is no way to convince them otherwise, and as they
don´t know what they are doing anyway, it does not really matter.

There is a vast range of excellent medium, and even low priced, gear on the
market nowadays, some of which is as good or better than the top price
stuff. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for people to accept this. Also,
even when told, or having had it proven to them, they rarely believe it.

There is little one can do about this. One may merely go for the best
oneself, which of course requires considerable information and knowledge. I
have picked up various "cheapies", had a cast or two, and known I had a good
rod in my hand. A beginner has no chance at all, as he does not know what he
requires, and many others who are not "beginners" as such, still lack the
information and experience to be able to tell the difference.

We all pay our "learning money" in some way or another. Some just keep on
paying it!


Very nice video by the way!
