Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: TPFR Bluegill Tournament August 13th!!!

I'm glad someone mentioned spey rods.  Even among their enthusiasts, it's generally accepted that spey rods are basically only useful for heaving lawn furniture out into the middle of rivers (when all of the fish are at your feet), and also making small fish feel much, much larger due to poor leverage.  

You could use one for competitive bluegill fishing, but never on windy days.  The massive cross section of the lines really catch the wind and make casting difficult -- 

Every word above is 100% truth -- sorry, I don't make the rules!

This sounds awesome. Plus I've got the winning strategy. 10wt skagit with full sink tip, 10 split shot on a 2ft leader with an extra large musky fly. Knock the bluegills unconscious and then drag em in.
