fly reel spinning rod???

[Dryrod]

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Hey Brook that is assuming one is crafty enough to build their own equipment. I hate to be crude but if someone suggested that in order to save money I should build my own rod, I would still be playing with my bait caster or spinning gear. I know several people that still have their first rod & reel purchases and they work just fine. I have a question regarding your statement [#800080]" It's not the best route to go, because you are just as likely to become turned off to fly fishing when you can't accomplish the basic tasks".[/#800080] And what basic tasks might you be referring to? BTW for the first 10 years fly fishing I stayed with the same rod and reel. A 6 wt Fenwick Eagle and a S&A System 4-6 reel. Then I discovered Bob Marriotts and the rest is history. My comments are not to nit pick yours Brook but to let someone new to the sport see all sides of the issue.[/size][/#008000][/font]
