Hey FG, it wasn't a personal attack at all. Sorry if I offended you. The remarks were meant to be lighthearted joking. I respect what you have to offer even if I'm not much of a purist and have a very different style than you. It was to point out they're are different ways to catch fish. Think what situation might be right for southern bass with his son. He never mentioned where he sees himself taking his son primarily to fish. I do think this should play a big role in his selection. The standard 9ft 5 wt reply is far from the only answer to everyones first rod. As we both know you can catch fish throughout the whole state with a single rod. But that single rod is far from ideal for all waters. This is even more true for a beginner than the experienced.
