" If your rod weighs six ounces, your reel nine, and your line another
ounce or two, it means that you are holding a pound of weight in your
casting hand - much of the time at arm's length - all the time you fish.
Try carrying a pound of butter around that way for four or five hours."
Ted Trueblood ( from Zern's book)
