Angler talking to fly rod company:
?What do you mean my rod isn?t covered against rabbit damage??
Does this mean that we will rate our lines and rods in “carrots” now instead of weights?
This is actually pretty cool. It’ll be interesting to see if they can take it beyond a novelty. Funny how we seem to be looking more and more towards the natural world for answers to many of the issues facing us.
I betya that if you use one of those rods long enough, you’ll get pretty good at sight fishin’ :idea:
Now if you lean your rod against a tree you have to worry about hungry moose snacking on you favorite rod.
Can you see the advertising for this one?
"If you Carrot all about fishing the best you have to try the new CII our new Orange and green blanks are stunningly delicious "
Bonus feature, should you get lost in the woods just nibble on the rod till help arrives. Secret salt shaker hidden in the butt.
Wow! The technology is amazing and it makes you wonder where it’s all headed.
What’s next? Fly rods from bamboo?
