You see comp fisher's with 32 different spools of line. Are they really necessary ?
:lol:

Aye Donald, you are right. I got a free DVD sent with some Fishtec junk mail last  year. I watched it anyway and actually it was OK in an odd sort of way. It was also a bit of an eye opener. Matt Hayes was fishing on Grafham Reservoir with some guy who was the world champion  stockie basher of that year. This guy had a mobile tackle shop in the  boat with him with,as you say, 32 different fly lines (it may have been 33 actually  :D).

So I'm watching this and thinking to myself, what the  f**k is this all about  :?

"It's fly fishing  Jim, but not as we know it"   :lol:

'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

This kind of ties in with the previous thread about innovation. What was the last "new" thing you bought that did make a difference?

I recently read Trout Bum by John Gierach. Early on he describes a condition which we all suffer when new to fishing. He calls it Voidophobia- the unreasoning fear of empty vest pockets.

" I didn't know exacly what I needed, but clearly I needed a lot of stuff, enough stuff to make me clank and rattle when I walked, to strain the single stitched seams of my cheap vest, enough to put me in the same league with the guys who were catching all the fish."

I doubt if I would ever buy anything from Fishtec. Best leave it to the stockie bashers.
