Good to know. The reason I'd love to try it is mainly to make flies. I think there is something awesome to be said about fooling a fish to eat something you actually MADE, with crazy material like hairs and feathers haha.
OK, thanks for giving me stuff to think about. At the least, I may buy a fly rod for surf fishing since it's all about the cast.
