The more I read the more I get confused. I hate going to my local fly shop and picking up a sage or any other high end rod and my dealer says lets go out to the parking lot. I am dodging traffic, worried about who am I going to nail on the back cast, because I'm great on the back cast snagging something
.

I really think a casting analyzer is the way to go for the different styles of casting per individual.

I think weight is very important if you are casting all day with a hefty wind, but the kick in the rod has to match ones style. It comes down to feel, not what others think.

I hope I eventually find mine.
