I completely agree with you, dear BLB,

Oh, please its rude to abbreviate when not everybody will know what it
means. LOL.

I know Gloomis and St. Croux but I don't find so much difference in
using chosen Abu Barcia, Shakespeare and Shimano rod for bass fishing
with success.

True, but I bass fish (spinning and casting) very seriously, and I can tell
a lot of differences. For instance. I like to pitch light baits which is a
very arm, wrist, and elbow intensive activity. Something as simple as a few
grams difference in weight or balance can mean the difference after an 8+
hour tournament between having an arm like a wet knoodle and and being able
to go back out on the water the next day and do it again. If I didn't have
the expereince and didn't hammer it for hours on end I would not be able to
tell the difference, and on any given cast I doubt it makes any difference
in my catch rate. Over the course of a day it can make a huge differnce in
my arm, number of cast, accuracy as the day wears on, etc...


So (Egad, I hate doing this, LOL) in conclusion. Go buy a moderate
priced fly rod suitable in weight, length and action for your
application and go fishing with it. If you really like fly fishing
you will eventually want to upgrade to something better.

I know myself and I'll love fly fishing.

That is good. Abit premature IMO since you say you are brand new to it, but
its always good to have a clear definition of your passions.

I didn't 'til now for some
reasons (costs and places where I'm from).
there is a problem somebody says about starting with economic stuff in
fly fishing: maybe I could learn some defect in casting technique that
should be hard to remove later.

I had not thought of that, but unless you get really crappy junk I don't
think so. If you really believe that is a possibility you might instead
spring for the cash for a fly fishing clinic to teach you the basics.
Personally I think more bad habits are likely to arise from being self
taught than from medium vs high price equipment. At the very least go out
and purchase some fly fishing videos so you can see what it looks like when
and experienced fly angler does it right.


I don't know

Fair enough.

P.S. I thought you said you weren't going to respond to any more of my
posts LOL.
