Re: Californians $$$?

I believe that you can take an average angler and make him a good angler, and a good angler a better angler by improving the quality of his equipment, but you can't make a good angler a great angler with equipment or time on the water. That comes from inside. JMO

Re: Old Dobyns Rod Warranty?

Warranty hasn't changed. If you break one, take it to a dealer, give them $60 and get a new one or send it in to the Dobyns facility for repair or replacement. Warranty is still the same.

Re: flourocarbon line qualities and a braid question?

That is easy. Jason is correct about braid and slack line. Braid being softer (limper) on slack line it will be harder to detect a bite and the more line you have out, the worse the effect is. With fluoro, and even co-poly and mono to a certain extent, they are semi-rigid and you are more likely to ...
