I bought my first rod this morning as I could'nt resist. It may not be the best or the perfect rod to suit my needs but it was calling me and it's a start A Wakata 12ft fly rod (6:4) with a 10lb level line and i have tippet material at home. This should take about 6-12 days to arrive but since its Xmas maybe even longer. This form of fly fishing does look like fun and i do love the minimum requirements this technique uses. Just my cup of tea as I do like the "keep it simple stupid' system
