    There have been times, when catching wipers and carp that it would be nice to stick the butt of the rod in my belly to help provide a bit more leverage. When the whites are running it gets pretting tiring after a while holding the rod and fighting them using just my wrist and fore arm.

    Dave,

    I tried to send you a PM and your PM box is full. I may have a 6wt with fighting butt you may be interested in.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    That's odd, because I only had on msg in my in-box. It is empty now.

    There ya go, never thought about catching wipers and or sandies while spawning, I assume, could wear out your arm. I have never had that problem unfortunately. Thanks for putting up with me. HOSS
