"The joy of owning fine tackle is so great that it is often difficult to distinguish between basic needs and the urge to possess that which delights the sensitivities. I have preached against indulgence, but in truth I am a sentimental moron when it comes to fishing tackle. How can one find adequate words to describe the sweet feel of a rod that makes casting an esthetic delight, yet which adds little to one's ability to catch fish?"

"The Philosophical Fisherman" by Harold Blaisdell

ability to read a defense is to an NFL Quarterback."
