Quite a serious troll there...


How was this a troll? Or off putting? I do not see how it is either
a troll or off putting.


You claim to own thousands of dollars worth of high quality fly fishing
equipment yet profess to know nothing of the sport.



You are NOT a nice person.
1) I did not say I know nothing, I said I am a beginner. I said I own
"thousands of dollrs worth of high quality fly fishing equipment"?
Let me quote what I said:

"I have several reels going from a hardy lrc lightweight all the way
up
to a okuma 7-9 weight. (and a
6-8 weight and a sth #2 and a sth #3, the #2 about a 6 weight and the
#3 about a 8 weight)
I have rods going from a 6 weight glass to a tfo 9 weight. I have
lines going from a 6 weight
floating to a 8 weight floating, and just recently bought a sized 2
intermediate orvis floating
line. "

The hardy is a hand me down from my grandfather. You can get one for
about $200 new. The okuma 7-9 weight? About $40. The sth #2 and #3?
About $50. The sized 2 intermediate orvis line was $10 from sierra
trading post. The tfo was about $89. Several of the 6, 6/7, 8 wegiht
rods including the fiberglass are probably worth about $25 and were
hand me downs from my grandfather.

What kind of asshole calls a post asking simple questions a troll? A
troll is when someone makes a inflamatory post trying to get people to
reply. What was inflamatory? I think you are a lot closer to a troll
than I am.

How many people out here had questions about what sized line/reel/rod
to use? Probably a lot.
