Oh look at Mr. Negative coming in here and trying to be fricken Sherlock
Holmes and figure out why I am posting a poll, and that I have some big evil
scheme behind it! What are you, the damn poll police?

you wrote: In that case....with you being a writer and all, not to mention
one with
a vast 18 months or so of FFing under your belt, is there any chance you
are trying to cobble together a "gimme," not to mention approach vendors
with the story/information, hoping for freebies?

Get a life pal-- and what difference does it make how long I have been fly
fishing?
The reason I am taking this poll has nothing to do with writing genius, and
if you would have just asked me kindly instead of conjuring up some
negative "bull#$%* I would have kindly explained.

You don't have to drag your pathetic depressed negativity onto this bored
just because you need attention.
@$$holes like you are getting old on these newsgroups.
Didn't your mommy teach you, that if you don't have anything nice to say,
than don't say it!

you also wroteMust be a tough thing for a writer...always remember, words
and grammar,
um, is your friends...and BTW, Orvis makes more than 2 rods only,
particularly (and in general) in the T3 series...only...

For one, your words barely even make sense, and two--I am very aware that
Orvis makes more than two rods-- genius!
I own seven them and at least one from every series.
I am also an Orvis endorsed fly fishing guide now, a professional fly tyer
and a custom fly rod builder who has had much success in the sport and
business, which is the reason for this poll in the first place (to see what
trends in rods are doing) not for writing some big evil industry "gimmie".

And since you brought it up, writing and grammar that is; you could use a
few lessons there pal. Something else your mother didn't teach you very
well.

I am done wasting my energy on fools like you!

Good day,

Richard Lee Merritt

As for everyone else who was kind enough to leave positive comments and
participate, Thank you!
I really appreciate your thoughts.
There is always at least one of "those guys" that has to try and ruin a good
thing.

POLL:
I am curious what your favorite fly rod is?

Why?

What are you fishin' with these days?

If everyone could please post your favorite Fly Rod Brand--try to limit
your
answer to 2 rods only

Then I'll be REAL helpful and limit my answer to 0 rods...

--and feel free to post any other comments.

I will start,

Well, it's a start, I suppose...

I prefer Orvis fly rods in general, particularly the T3 Series. There is
no
words,

Must be a tough thing for a writer...always remember, words and grammar,

it's just bliss for me.
Most of my gear is from Orvis, it's good stuff!
If I had to choose a second, I think it would be RL Winston Boron IIx.

Oh, lordy, lordy...
