You're right Pugs. I've been in and out of it since 1969. A River Ran Through It and has washed it away! I'm not against new that's for sure, but I like making my decisions about my equipment, then stick with it when I find what works. Hard to decide nowadays tho. I'll sure agree about leader materials, man they're great! I use glass rods still occasionally but these new rods are outstanding! But I still got a couple that I scrub the cork with toothpaste and brush, hard to beat. I. Just getting to old & tired to fish em all!
