I ordered some of the Proline on Black friday. Its an awesome line and the price point was good. Thanks for all of the videos. Im slowing fixing my casting watching them. Cheers.

That was really interesting, fair play.

I was trying to look for the 5 part youtube series you created on fly casting with FiberGlass rods and I can’t find them anymore! Those videos convinced me to buy 2 Glass rods and I use them exclusively for Carp in the golf course ponds near where I live. I want to see them again! Please bring them back out! (^_^). Thank you!

A 13 foot match rod with a 3bb waggler and 5lbs line would do a better job, it would also be more sensitive. You still have the 3 flies beneath the float, so you are still fly fishing.

NO! So, so wrong, the engine should be in there Tom and the tackle in the frunk! Electric next! Saying that, Great video, very informative

Sunray lines are the worst I’ve ever had would never purchase Sunray gear again
