I have cheap, medium and expensive rods. I prefer the expensive - hands down.

Don't tie enough to justify a "good" vice. I need only a cheap one to tie up a few easy saltwater patterns.

Drive a Volvo XC 90. Company car. Sweet. I love free cars that include free insurance. If I could only figure out a way to get a monthly fly rod allowance....I do however get to write off guided fishing now and again which is nice. I purposly seek out cleints who like to fish.
