Well, I just gotta ask .... what the hell do you do with a 1 wt rod?
Years ago, I gave up using a 2wt Sage I had because it didn't have enough
backbone to land a decent fish and


I really don't think "backbone to land a decent fish" is an issue, the size
fish you'd be fishing for would be easy to catch. The only real issue is
the utility of the line per se. Now the only time this would be a real
challenge is if you were having a seriously hard time with large trout in
very clear spooky conditions where they seriously had a problem with 3 wt or
larger line. Those conditions have to be pretty rare.

I don't think those conditions are rare for Larry. I think they're normal.

This is a guy whose favorite places, as far as I can tell, are Silver
Creek and the Railroad Ranch stretch of Henry's Fork.
