FRAUD!!!

Real men fish with a Bruce & Walker, 18' -- 11/12 wt.

Me? I have to settle for the short **** (under 14').

For Skeeter

1) Ignore the rest of the loonies here, I'm the only loonie worth
talking too.

2) Buy one of Uncle Walt's kits at www.ezflyfisher.com

or 3} Buy a BassPro White River Classic

or 4) Buy St. Croix Avid

or 5) Buy a Temple Fork Outfitters rod

or 6) Buy a cheap Redington

or (7) an Orvis Clearwater

Screw the high priced ****

damn. sussed out again...

nice advice snipped

I'm done cutting up, Skeeter. Decide what type of fishing you'll be doing
(freshwater, panfish, bass, trout, large stream small stream, sal****er,
inshore, offshore...) and then buy an outfit that fits the type of water and
species you're starting out with.

The only other advice I can give you is that life's too short to use a rod
you can't cast well. Keep trying until you get one that YOU like.

What kind of fishing are you doing? Your best bed is try to cast the
rods yourself plus tell the shop what you are fishing for, for instance
you will want a different rod for catching 10 inch native trout than
catching 40 pound salmon.

At about $80 the temple fork outfitters 6 weight would be a good generic
rod, imho.

Thanks for the honest tip. I went ahead and bought a Loomis GLX. It
feels ok at the moment. I haven't been able to get to much fishing in
because of school. Thanks again.
