.....I think the point Warren was trying to make, and it is a good one, is
that
guides are a relatively small component of the rod market. There are many,
many, more anglers than there are guides. The reason fly rod replacements
have increased is because of the increase in rod sales to the general
public, not to guides.

True.....very true. However, in fairness, I believe it should be made clear
that Warren was evidently also making another point.......that Mr. Sullivan
is a "dumbass". I think it is always a mistake in this forum to gloss over
such an accurate assessment made on the first try.

who realizes, of course, that it may have been a lucky guess but really, the
correct answer is of greater import than is the process by which it was
derived.

You are right, Wolfgang, I should not have glossed over Warren's assesment,
but I felt it was so obviously accurate that I did not need to belabor the
point.

I'll just go back to snapping all my rod tips now.

I was told by a very reputable flyshop owner that the rod companies *expect*
you to break your rod at the end of the season.

yeah, its part of an international conspiracy to inflate rod prices.

By the way, our season never ends either. I usually get to fish each month
of the year.

I've always wanted to be part of an INTERNATIONAL conspiracy! Your run of
the mill local, regional and national conspiracies are so limited in their
scope. Just think, if we can get everyone here at ROFF to break their rods
at the end of each and every season (relatively speakin'), we could enjoy
endless threads about how, when, and where the breakage occurred. We could
work-up a form letter to send to each rod manufacturer requestin'
replacement. Hell, we could even have 'claves dedicated to the breakin' of
rods. Mind ya timin' would be of critical importance concernin' these
'claves.
