I don't know why the low-enders exist in fly fishing, but there are a lot of Bass anglers who'll nearly sell their house for a high-end boat and tackle. Maybe the fly angler is just a bit more conservative - low-end, because he's more creative - and able to make do because he's more confident that he can do things himself. Not to forget, confident that what he has, regardless of value, will catch as good a fish as anything on the top shelf.
