I don' have the biggest or the best, but what I got & use suits me just fine! My rods range from 3wt to 7wt & I've got as many 'toys' as I need. My tying equipment & supplies are the same way. What I tie Works well enough even though it doesn't exactly match what you see in the magazines & on line
A lotta that high speed high dollar stuff is designed to catch nimrod fishermen, not necessarily fish.
F'ya wanna go fishin' , fine let's go! F'ya wanna impress someone with yer equipment & skill...one's obvious & the other soon will be. H-m-m-m? Seems like I read that some where on this board. Wink wink
