Good topic. I have more fiberglass fly rods than I have graphite or bamboo. All of them are wonderful rods to me although fiberglass is my preference. I have no trouble fishing big water here in the West. The glass casts just fine. It's a matter of adapting my casting style to the rod I am using. Life is so short, in fact life is too short, so I fish my rods and am grateful I can do so. Plan to go through my rods soon and sell some of them, both glass and carbon. It won't be easy.
