Welcome to dark side... wait till you start tying. Then a fur ball from the cat starts looking interesting

Very nice rod, and I like the 25 year breakage guarantee.

I think it is a very good deal for the money. The line casts very well and the reel seems good for this price range. I am going nuts with this new hobby . Put a bid on E-bay for 600 assorted flies, not thinking I had a chance and won the damn thing. Flies arrived yesterday. They are pretty darn good flies. Busy today sorting them out. Great mix of wet, dry, nymps, and streamers. I will have a bunch of extra available that I will sell dirt cheap once I figure out what the heck I got.

its hard to beat small mouth on a fly rod

Picture of Trout I caught on 1-1-2012....Small Stream Nebraska Trout, but I love them just the same...enjoy your new setup, and don't let it bother you when you are out in the yard casting it, and the neighbors all look at you wierd like :)
