Listen "Rods! Casting! Action!"
Episode Synopsis
Why did you pick the fly rod that you did? Was it the label? Was it the price? Was it how it felt when you wiggled it in the store?
Or, was it because the rod cast a line in a way that fit your stroke and your fishing?
Okay, now: why does the rod do that?
Dozens and dozens of hours could be filled with discussions about the engineering, manufacturing, and application of fly rod action. In about 20 minutes, I give a cursory look at how fly rods "get" action and how you should choose one that will fit your needs.
This episode has some real rabbit-hole potential... and I hope you take a deeper dive if interested!
