Almost anything you could want to know about fly rods is answered in this podcast, including:

Man that was an hour well spent. Clueless I went to Basspro and they sent me home with a 7 half foot 5 wt several years a go. Since tuning into your channel I went out and got a Orvis 9 ft 5 wt, what a wonderful upgrade. In hog heaven and catching trout. You the man Spenc. ! Keep it coming.

Fantastic episode! Love the way you folks took a road trip to a well-known rod maker and got us a great down-to-earth interview with seasoned fly fishing folks, chocked full of useful information. Thank you!

Blew my mind when he said their margin of error was the width of a piece of paper. Crazy!

Although I wasn't mentioned, I believe my question (and other people's) were asked and covered during the episode. Thank you all for the information.

Bottom line is the fish dont care what equipment u are fishing with. Rod and reel can be a decent budget or past 1000. The people who have the cash will spend the cash. For the average work class anglers a good middle road price tag has everything u need for trout. The reel dont make much difference for trout angling.

It is so aggravating when the sound isn’t well mixed. I have old ears…can’t even hear the guy on the left.
