I appreciate that ditz. I did use a fly rod with poppers 40 years ago. I have no problem getting the hundred Gills a day using the Trout Magnet....when they get on the beds....and I not only have the 6' 6" inch rod made from a 2wt fly blank but also a 9 foot made from a fly rod blank. I went the spinning rod route years ago....but I don't rule out ever using a fly rod again. I do know it is a lot of fun catching those on a popper. Will keep your offer in mind if I decide to do that again. I bought some rod racks from Mike Dial yesterday and thought two would be enough.....then when taking my new kayak home yesterday I counted 18 rods sitting in my fishing room. I need to thin that out. I need to find some kid to give about 6 or 7 of those.
