[blush] I once had an Ultralite rod that was so limber I could not set a hook with it.
(beat that for tall tales!)
Each new thing I do seems to bring out a fact I should have been aware of some time in the past.
When I got the Graphite #5, I stopped missing so many strikes!
At the time I was fishing from a boat in a lake.
That lake was a favorite place, I fished there frequently.
I was used to catching one or three fish a night. But with the Graphite rod I started catching a lot more. (flattend Barbs)
That was the background for the statment about the Graphite being better at catching fish.
Maybe! It seemed to me that it was!
OK, saying that, a few years later, when I went to the Little Red up in Arkansas for Five different types of Trout, the guide was constantly yelling at me for missing the fish. The fine Graphite didn't seem to help me very much with those fish.
I had strike indicators too. I guess I expected him to hook hissownself!
