This Spring, much to my dismay, I picked up my flyrod only to find that the tip was broken! :cry: If you've fished for very long this has surely happened to YOU! It's even more likely with the nice, light graphite rods. My last rod was a really nice Pflueger Summit 8.5ft graphite rod. I really liked that rod too! Well, my new one is a Temple Fork Outfitters Lefty Kreh Signature series, 9 foot 6wt rod. Of course I bought some new flyline/backing/poppers to go with it! New week I'm going camping to Lake Guntersville on the Tennessee River and I'm gonna give it a try! HOPEFULLY I'll have some pics!
