of the minimalist approach.

Well, if you saw the Diamondback Classic Trout . . .

Isn't that a SWEET rod?! I picked one up from Walt when they were on sale and am
really glad I did.

Well, I came by mine sorta the same way, via uncle Wally, only he
didn't wanna give it up, and the Pirate had to concoct that story of
Waldo hitting his face on the wall, and well, I did pay for it 'n'
all. Waldo still sells me stuff though . . .

Nice guy that Waldo . . . even when he bitches about me havin' his
favourite rod . . . I don't tell him how many fish In catch with it
though . . . that'll be puttin' salt into all those wounds. They
should be healed by now, you'd think . . . I now make it a policy to
use only dressed lumber in rod purchase negotiations. . . bark makes
for some really nasty looking scabs . . .
