Nah, he's just a wise a$$ hiding behind a fake name and an Abrahmite disciple besides. Very limited experience that nobody but newbies might take seriously.

I mean really - how can you trust advice from a guy who's favorite reel for saltwater needs to be rinsed and cleaned religiously or it will freeze up?

Best regards,

Wise A$$, yeah sometimes. All in fun, but I guess you didn't think so.

The flies I fish with catch big fish period. That's a proven fact, and they've been around for a long, long time. The methods used to present them heve been around for hundreds of years. Are you telling me guy's like Abrames and Bonderew Have limited experience fly fishing in the salt? I don't think so. The problem I see today is any "newbie" that walks into a fly shop gets sold short fast rods with speedy sinking lines and small flies for small fish. How long have those methods been around, since the mid 90's. I have fished both ways so my opinion's come from experience with both methods. Do yours?

As far as my reels go, is that how you judge an anglers skill, buy how much his equipment costs. Thats the kind of elitest attitude that gives fly fishermen a bad name. Some snob dressed from head to toe in the latest orvis atire with the best equipment money can buy, catchin all the little schoolies he can.
