[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"The ideal rod should and can perform like this: Always have the tip-in- 
hand feeling; give perfect casts with greatest ease, using only wrists 
and other parts of the arm when desired; at all distances the action 
should be complete. You can have an ideal short and medium range fly rod 
with all the power reserve for exceptionally long casts, without losing 
any of the qualities of light tip action and English type soft action 
rods. Maximum casting power with minimum muscle power, perfect side 
cast, perfect left and right side casts, perfect overhead casts perfect 
sky casts, perfect roll casts. No line hump. Cast a wide or narrow loop 
-- and remain smooth at all times. It should be a perfect wet and dry 
fly. And in my opinion, the length should be at least 8.5 feet if you 
are only going to work with one rod."
