Teaching rod tip control?

That's a good effort. I've often tried to cast them in the fly line - it's a difficult challenge.

I need to get up to date on fly fishing gossip to understand why this is underlyingly funny :O maybe I will do a post on sexyloops gossip to fulfill my curiosity :D :D :D Paul (understandably) has a long-standing grudge against barstool from many years ago. The use of fire to clean their lines make...

If you can find it, look back at the stuff Berlin was posting. He made a grip that allowed him to tune the location of t...

They tend to loosen the ferrules of my rods quickly on the same rods that otherwise stay well connected when...
