The Board

Thanks Peter! That sounds not too bad though. I hav fished Biscayne Bay twice. It was long time ago but even at that time it was very difficult to catch a Bone without chumming. At least we saw several every day (fished 20 days). The boat traffic was very high as was the fishing pressure. Bones were...

How is the fishing down there in these "days"?

Any Bonefish left? (I heard the Bones are pretty rare compared to how it was 10 or 20 years ago.)

Still a good destination to aim for Tarpon and maybe a Permit within a week of guided fishing?

Thanks
Bernd

You know some prefer LONG ones

How about the length?

In most of the tackle tests I read no one seems to be interested in rod length.

hi Bernd, the most important is fast tip recovery. all the rest comes secondary. cheers, marc Hi Marc What do you mean with "fast tip recovery"? Cheers Lasse Hi Marc, I had the same question in mind and a second one as well: How do you measure or judge or just get an idea about recovery speed when ...

Hi everyone,
after reading quite some tackle tests lately, I was wondering what everyone of you understands as the five most important key categories to compare fly rods in for making a decision which one to choose/buy?
Thanks
