When The Meiz got home, he was still bubbling like a brook! Had a wonderful time (told everone, every detail ... at least twice) not only with the Aaron 'Clave, but the fishing that followed.

Living 15'ish minutes from Bob's home I get to 'test drive' a lot of the new rods. My claim to fame on these is I don't just 'cast' the rod ... Ive got a leader and one/two feather bricks tied to the end.

Found far too often that a good casting rod can be very limited in it's fishing ability (lifting tips/heavy fly(s), etc). Last one's I got to play with where his two new 6 sectin 16 footers.

CANNONS!!
