To each, his own, though. Fly rods are a lot like women: one man's Ellie May is another man's Miss Jane.
I totally agree and that's why I hesitate to downplay anyone's opinion or preference. What works for me might not be the best for the next person.

A lot of it has to do with the waters you are fishing.
