Sorry, Don, but Tony trumps you.  He can call it whatever he wants, since he is 
after all,  THE TONY, while you have diluted yourself with all of those 
multiple personalities (in fact, I bet some of them say spine when you aren't 
looking).  

PS  What's going on Mars, anyway?  Any hatches?

 David,
 Some of these combos are really bad in the combination they set up. Most will 
 have a level line that requires some practice to master. Most of the rods are 
 soft and you have to really slow down your cast and make a definite stop of 
 the back and fwd cast.
 In most cases the rod is not loading, this is where a heavier line might help.
 Another problem I find with a lot of package rods is the spine is not where 
 it should be. It may be off anywhere from 15 to 90 degrees. It is hard to 
 tell you what the problem is without casting the setup you have. Not to hurt 
 your feelings, you may not be casting that type of rod correctly. Try a 
 heavier line, if that works, your problem is fixed.
 Tony

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

2010-07-02 Thread Jimmy D. Moore
In the first place, sheer lightness in a rod doesn't necessarily mean 
less effort. The difference between a two ounce rod and a longer five 
ounce model in ratio to the angler's total weight on the scales is about 
the same as drinking half a tumbler full of water or going thirsty.
