Ken Abrames flyrod question????

[steelhead]

Agreed. If find a rod and then a line that is well matched to the rod, you will have an enjoyable fishing experience. You won't be thinking about casting, just fishing, cause the rod and line are working for you :-)

I just picked up a new stick from Ken, the 10' 9wt. That is one powerfull rod, unlike anything else I have ever casted. It will definatley take some getting used to. Ken warned me it was a bear. Seems like it will work great for dredging with some lead core.

He also has some sort of lead counterweight in the butt that makes a difference.

[steelhead]

He sets his rods up so that they balance under his pinky finger.
Makes for easy casting....

Oops .02! The couterbalance helps if there is rotation in the casting stroke as is used for RI surf flyrodding with droppers and open loops..... excellent technique and I have been known to give it a try. But for a cast with mostly translational rod motion lighter is better..

Going to give the yellow plug a try tomorrow Steelhead
