I've posted several posts on the subject on fast rods in the past and wondering why companies like Sage keep on churning out fast and stiff rods. 99.8% of the time fly fishing isn't about casting 100ft or even 'performing'. Most fish is caught between 20 to 40 ft at the most. The rod should deliver a tiny fly. That's it!
Today Kelly Galloup posted a video and talks about fly lines, but he really hits the topic on the ever faster rods of the past 20 years in the first part of this video. I guess he is saying that rod companies (and the line companies following the rod companies) forgot to tell you something…
At the end Kelly also gives a great tip: stalk more, cast less.
