Good Lord fellas! I never intended to get a fist fight started!

I WONT go to using a shooting head..so thats out right off the bat!

I do need to learn proper "hauling" and have already booked casting instruction 2 diffferent times and places. Not much hauling needed fishing 30-35 ft wide streams that are knee deep.

I do thank everyone for their input...especially the deal about the tapers...Lord I didnt realize there was THAT MUCH difference in tapers!!
