[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."
