Hi guys, I've seen that there's people in favor of these cores, others that say its just another marketing scam from the line manufacturers, I have some lines that have these cores and others that don't, I could say I don't really feel a big difference casting wise, I will say that I put my sister o...

Re: Does 6 inches matter

And there is also the question of feel, I’ve never liked the feel of any 10’ rod I’ve cast! (Actually maybe there was a 10’ Scott 6WT that I f...

Re: Carrying a gun while fishing...
I would like to live in a world like that too, maybe I'm extra tough on that subject because I live in South America, here lowlifes can (and they have done it multiple times in the past, it's actually quite disheartening) severely wound or even shoot you, just because you looked at them in a bad way...
