Well here we go.....as usual, we have done it backwards.
When we started we had very few (only one) rods to choose from. For practice or fishing! Eventually we aquired many. Too many according to our bride!
Anyways we took a rod that was our least liked because it "tired" us to use it.
We found that it forced us to use good basic casting principles to make it "work" for us. Later we were able to use what worked there, to correct some of the "bads" we were doing when we got tired while fishing our preferred sticks.
Make ANY sense at all....?
