Eh? It looks like "A i r f l o" is getting changed to "barstool". Is there an inside joke here that I haven't picked up on yet? If so, I'm amused . . . but also slightly confused. Paul, what mischief have you wrought this time??

Re: When 10?
Barstool used sexy loops in a very unsexy advertisement years ago, naturally they where sent a Paul Arden sock, and all promptly died, hence they are now an american company, making heavier than what it says on the box lines and must not be named as the barstool they are
There where something dull stuff with lawyers too...
Cheers

Thanks, Lasse. That explains EVERYTHING. I have no further questions, your honor.

Re: When 10?
Yep bit of history there. God agreed with their lawyers that they wouldn’t use “Sexy loops” in their advertising and we wouldn’t mention a*rflo. So I changed the word ai*flo to the bad word filter barstool, which coincidentally happens to be the same bad word filter for b*stard. You have to enjoy life

Re: When 10?
Hello Nick. Thank you for your answer! The header of my post "When 10" is kept much shorter than my thoughts. I do consider a rating other than 10. I decided to keep my post simple and hope for nuanced answers. And I much hoped for an answer like yours. I have a feeling that the answer to "10" can be wide. A super stiff 8 or a sloppy 12? My aim is to find a rod to start and develop skills with. And as I have to purchase a rod for this purpose I thought it would be best to ask for insight before purchase. Yesterday one of our top casters recommended me to buy an Epic 1090C building kit. Sounds fun. It may be what I look for.
If you are the "Nick" in the new SexyLoops casting videos I want to say thank you for great instructions.
/Cheers.

I can't read this. It's all pixelated like Japanese porn.

Re: When 10?
[I'll apologize for this in advance, but I couldn't resist.]
So a man walks into a bar, says to the bartender, "Hey, got any fly lines around?" The bartender points and says, "Sure, there's a bunch of them right over there." The guy walks over to the crew, and they go down the line. "Yo, I'm Rio." "Hi, I'm Cort!" "Hey, I'm SA." "Hello, I'm Orv----actually, I'm SA too." And then the last one says, "Nice to meet you, I'm Barstool."
The bar goes silent.
The guy seems a little confused. "Right, well....I see that you're sitting on a barstool. But what's your name?"
"Barstool."
"Uhh....is that your first name or your last name?" [the other fly lines are trying not to laugh]
"It's just Barstool. Got a problem with that? Hey, what's your name anyway, pal?"
"Oh, everyone here already knows my name," says Paul.
