Essentials Several American angling writers once had a controversy as to whether the chief end of a fishing rod is its ability to cast well or to hook and play a fish properly. To me it seemed like arguing on the relative merits of one's right and left leg since a good rod must do both well. To meet these requirements a rod must possess strength and power combined with lightness and balance, pliancy (bend) combined with resiliency (spring), and these so related as to cast a reasonably long line straight and true with the minimum of effort on the angler's part, and to hook and land the fish that rise to our flies. |
