action of most bamboo rods; you need to get your rhythm more in sync with
what the rod "wants" to do, and a supple line makes it easier to throw nice
tight loops. I like Lazerlines, but I prefer to use them with more powerful
composite rods.

You will find Big Dale in the same boat as Charlie. My Leo Eck 7.5 foot 5
weight feels perfect to me with the old timey pink 444 line in a 5 weight
double taper line on it. There is something about that bamboo rod and swinging
a red ass that seems about perfect to me when I am on a trout stream and the
brim feel great on it as well.
