I'm searching for a word or phrase for a fly fisherman who deliberately
fishes with obsolete equipment for reasons of nostalgia.


Hmmm.......satisfied, content, self confident, retro, knowledgeable, all
come to my mind.

When you thing about it and given Sage's product cycle that SP you like to
fish with is now two generations old and .........obsolete.

Spoken like a true gear whore. :-)

I like your "retro."

I don't use my SP because it's obsolete. I use it because its the best
all-round trout rod I've ever had. (Not to say that there's not another
one out there that might be better, but at this point I don't feel like
spending the money to find out.)
