Yes. Find a shop or a buddy that will let one try a line or two. They are getting expensive enough now, that purchasing simply for research can get a bit spendy. Probably a weight forward for bigger bugs and bucking the wind.

If ones line is a bit heavy, he can start chopping off at the tip. Tough to put material on though if it's a little light.
