If Gfen buys the reel in the picture he could be to FF what Ricky Fowler is to golf.
I absolutely abhor all of the cheeky young style in this sport from such people as Bug slinger, howler boys, and anyone who has the word spey in their company title.
Fly Fishing does not need its own version of Ed Hardy, thank you very much.
As much as I find some of the designs novel, or chuckle at their witty fishisms, the very narrow niche of people who are expected to find them amusing: Young, hip, bearded outdoorsy men with bright colourful tattoos and, of course, spey rods talking about chrome fishing with tubes and posting on drakemag.com forums are everything I detest about fishing.
I would lock them all into a tiny little room and let them all suffer gladly while tolerating the insane rantings of the greyhair brigade (that's you, fade, lovable tottering old man that you are) whom at least aren't doing this out of some sort of extreme need to show off their
unique personality.
That said, I make no secret how very, very badly I want an Abel Creek with the skull and cross bones pattern.
