I also heard a lot about sharkskin and I am considering buying some but have a couple questions. Does the sound it makes get annoying or is it really no big deal? I've heard people complain about the line cutting their fingers, has this been an issue with anyone? And for those of you that have used it more than a few times does it seem durable so far?
Now OCK , 7 months of fly fishing is a good start. I just don't buy that it that hard to do and like everything else some people have a knack for it others don't. I've only been fly fishing for about 8 years so many would still consider me a newbie. Pay attention to want you see works for others and don't be afraid to experiment on your own and you'll learn something new every time out. Above all pay attention to where you find fish and what they're feeding on at different times of the year.
I took this question as much a finacial question as a fishing question. Yes the $600 plus rods can be very good but there is a lot of others things you can do with that much money if your feeling the pinch with the economy. I have several expensive rods ( didn't pay full price for any however) but have complete confidence in my $200 Sage Launch. I have a 4wt 7 and half foot Launch that I reach for in spring and fall when I know there's a good chance of tangling with the twenty-something inch browns in the rapid water of that remote canyon I frequent. I can't describe what the handle or guides even look like but I can tell you that that rod catches fish.
