So I've noticed lately a few new, younger, additions to your Spey Rod community. Suddenly there are lots of BEEEYYYAHHHHS, Hells yea mengs, and other hip hop speech creeping into the Spey Rod reports. It brought up a question in my mind:
Is it possible to be cool and fish with a spey rod?
After years of being, and observing other fishermen, I can make the following statement:
It is very close to impossible to be cool with any type of fishing rod in your hand, and even closer to impossible with a Fly Rod.
So with a Spey Rod, no way. And has anyone seen Toolman's car? Practical, yes. But the antithesis of cool.
So Max, Brent and other young folk, stop living a lie and embrace your geekiness! Because make no mistake, geeks you are. (but geeks who can catch fish, I'll grant you that)
