For sure. I just compensate for a lack of real skill with technology.

Am I right in seeing #6 as in 6 weight???? soft rod like that will be freakin awesome for down n across wee wet flies. I can do it with my #9 weight so a #6 will be a breeze

I didn't know that

I had a very nice custom built Hardy fibatube carbon 12 footer for Barbel fishing. It was a sweeeet rod but of no use to me in NZ, so I gave it to a guy called Hohepa

Is that how you got your Bill?

I'd take the Toy over those two! Specially the Colorado, I had an 09 Colorado and loved the thing, but they cocked up it's replacement!!

09 nearly be a rodeo wouldn't it?

Nice rod. Fly fishing is on at the moment apparently.
