Let me clarify...1st, I don't know you and didn't pick a fight with you, I
simply posted a recomendation to try to help the guy out. 2d, I am not a
dumbass, a yuppie, and least of all, I am not a gear snob. If you would
read further down in later posts, you would read that I use some of the
cheapest gear available (compared to what most others use). 3rd, I am not
trying to set myself up as "a real high-stepping gear connoisseur", just
the opposite. I have not had the privelege of owning or using anything
other than the lower end equipment my wife allows me to buy. 4th, the
Walmart references in question were pertaining to the Walmart here in my
town. Your Walmart may (and probably is) different. My first fly rod was a
SA bought at my local Walmart, and with noone and nowhere near to learn
the art of fly fishing from, it was a miserable rod to teach myself on.
Simple lack of experience and a mentor kept me from enjoying that rod.
5th, no you don't recall correctly, I have never said I was the owner of
"at least one of every rod Orvis ever made." Again, just the opposite, I
have only owned one Orvis, and I much prefer my (much cheaper) St. Croix
over the Orvis.

Let me amend that first part, yes I am sometimes (we all can be) a dumbass.

Well...."Some are more dumbass than others"

I suggest, when confronted with Dickie's random offerings, you not over
analyze the obvious. Sometimes a nitwit is just....a nitwit. Yah know? ;-)
