i use a lot of cheap fly rods,let me quantify that statement.i also do not use cheap line and i over load these rods with heavy line ,to make them load and cast like i want.
i must agree that a well made fly rod is a pleasure to cast,and a cheap rod can ,and in most cases will discourage a new person to the sport of fly fishing.
i own a couple of good true six weight rods and they are my favorite rods ,and the rods of choice when i take my grandson's out for a fly fishing trip on the lake.
a good rod can make or break a beginner fly fisherman,also a cheap line is just as bad as a cheap rod,not to mention what the wrong leader will do to a cast.



i hate duck grass
