That reminds me, there's another commercial out there for hair loss or boner pills that has some dudes with fly reels on spinning rods. I can't help but chuckle. Googans....

There was a comercial a few years back in Salt water sportsman with for a clothing line... the striking neat polo shirt and kaki shorts clad Gent was holding a large roosterfish while balancing a fresh water rod... sans line or hook... and the reel still had nylon (tie wraps) straps on it as an antitheft devise...the following months mag posted an "oops" because of all the back lash it created..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

That other commercial is for Symbicort. I thought something looked out of place, but it took a couple times seeing it to find what wasn't right. I certainly wouldn't profess to know every way there is to fish, but the rods look like spinning rods (the guides and butt section give it away) and the reels seem pretty huge for a small stream. At one point the grandfather has just oddly casted in one direction while the son is holding his rod in a strange position about to cast over his father's line. Can't tell if there are files or bait beneath the big red and white bobbers they have tied on. My younger daughter, obviously a stickler for this stuff watched the State Farm fishing ad and then when this one came on again, pointed out that grandpa is wearing a vest more suited to a safari than fly fishing.
