Great fun and I learned a whole different side to fishing! I have a third rod for myself that I used as a prototype for theirs. I can actually cast now without having to wear the floppy hat and heavy coat to protect myself. It's amazing that you can deliver something so small as a midge at a target 60 plus feet away and land it without so much as a splash. Makes spinning with "finesse" lures look like chucking rocks.

Now all you need to do is tie those Midges adn you're all set. I've got some size 30 hooks I tied on, those made Trico's look like Carrie Stevens Streamers, lol.
