I'm a fan of fly fishing saltwater ... To cast a fiberglass rod well, you have to practice patience and take your time. Each cast requires a slower, deliberate motion, letting things unfold.

"The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with One Step" by Lao Tzu Fly fishing has consumed me and ... it will be a good backup rod. Practice is more important than fancy gear.

I was using a small practice fly instead of the extra-large streamers ... Spend one afternoon fishing this rod with this unique grip and exceptional casting blank, and you will see what I mean.

If you do you are missing out on a fly ... fishing for challenging fish. And if you do have a bonefishing trip to the Bahamas lined up, a day or two of fly casting to cruising carp is great practice.
