Hide is beyond tough for sure, and they are a blast on fly rods. Carolyn looks at me madly at times, when I sneak the 4 weight back into her hand instead of the 6 weight... she says takes way to long to wear one out... I say have fun!
I remember a trip to Cordova years ago where I broke the tip on my son's new Cabelas Korean rod on a chumley, first fish it ever had on.
tough. they always pull, never rest like a silver or king will do.
