Of course there are risks in fishing, but it should be up to the individual whether he wishes to take those risks. Regulations that you must take a guide, lest you harm yourself, I am absolutely against. And personally I don't believe it; I think in most instances it's used as an excuse to commerci...

I wouldn't buy a Switch Rod for this. A Switch Rod is basically a shortened down Double Handed rod that can be cast both two and one hand. Bass fishing as you know, involves throwing flies into the tightest most overgrown spots. I do prefer a relatively stiff rod for this style of fishing, because ...

Hi Reelman, and welcome to the Board! :cool:
I'd be interested to know how you find the reels. I've tried the Vivarelli and love the idea. Unfortunately them may not be robust enough for me!

Ok I think I've fixed that problem. Anyone who has registered to now and is awaiting an email confirm can post. The Board will now send emails a different route from theboard@sexyloops.co.uk

Snakehead again tomorrow, although it didn't really happen today :glare:

OK Interesting questions there Brad. a full flexing rod is slower line, less distance, more delicate presentation. Medium flexing rod is medium distance, a bit faster line, some call best of both worlds. Tip flexing rod is fast line, more distance, harder to control accuracy. Some people will tell ...

Thanks, Paul

It's not only the mass at the tip, surely it's the taper too. A soft butt section would make the tip respond differently to a stiff one.
