    This is the point. The high-end rods are better. They're lighter, crisper, more responsive, recover faster, and most have nicer components. But the way to think about it is if the best fly rods cost...

    I can't speak for whether removal of the brookies is needed (i.e., does the number present threaten native cutthroat populations?), but I can tell you electrofishing is not an effective way to remove...

    I had and tried a 6wt switch rod briefly, and came to suspect the "switch" concept is highly overrated. You can cast them overhead, but, believe me, you don't want to. People may or may not find a...

    Don't let me turn you off on the Response. It struck me as a really nice rod at that price point. It's just the difference between the fast and more moderate action. And I was casting 6 wts rather...

    I cast the A4 and the Response 6 wts at the Denver fly fishing show. I wouldn't say I cast them side by side, though. As has been pointed out, the main difference is that the Response is a faster,...

    From the report: "We refuse to test any private labeled rods (Ex. Cabelas, LL Bean, Bass Pro Shops etc)."

    I've got rods at both the higher and more moderate price points, and I've cast a lot more. My observation is that the top-of-the-line rods are better. To me they feel lighter, crisper, and have a...

    Don't really know. I always tied and fished the plain Pheasant Tail without adornment. It worked. Don't know if adding a bead or flashback would work better. I wouldn't get too fancy.

    Keep the Pheasant Tails sparse and skinny. Might include some #20s. It's a great river. Hope he has a good time.
