    Default Fly rod accuracy

    People talk alot about accuracy with a fly rod, as one who moved from spinning gear to fly rod in 1997, I can tell you this much. I found it more difficult to be accurate with my spinning gear as the line left the spool freely and other factors like lure weight, line weight, rod length etc, meant more variables to control, I never had much trouble putting a fly where I needed it to be. I definately have less variables to control with a fly rod, at least I think I do.
