You didnt answer my question either. What reel should I get? Mabe just a junk Okuma, but I'll get better bearings. What about that idea?

Check this forum, I think there is a dopey thread on the subject.

 
That doesnt surpise me.

Haven't posted on this site for a while, but had to chime in. I have fished all over the US and Canada--both in fresh and salt water. From Presque Isle (bass) to Montana (trout) to Florida (tarpon and reds) to Hawaii (bonefish), most of this is with a flyrod. The big exception is here in on the local tribs for steelhead. Starting pinning about four years ago and, in my opinion, there is no better way to fish the streams in OH, PA and NY. Natural drift, instant hook ups, full control during the fight, etc. To the guy who is asking about skein on your hands...many times, I am using nymphs, buggers and glo bugs under my pinning rig with excellent results. Bottom line...there is no way humanly possible to achieve the same results with a flyrod. Agree with other posts here. Why the hostility towards pinning?

Why the hostility towards pinning?

It's fairly simple... one or two dudes (swing and kjh) hate pinners. They are fly fishing gods here on fisherie.com. These two have such an impact on the people that strive to be in their rank, that the followers develop the same sense of hostilitly to be just as "cool". This way, they can chime in on other threads in the hopes the fisherie community will think they too, are godly. It's a popularity contest.

every word is the truth...

carphead,

i love making fun of swinger and do it as much as i can, but that signature you have is lame and embarrasing, man.

 
 
Dude don't worry about my signature. I really don't give two sh*ts about what might be lame or embarrassing.
 
After all, those were the exact words he typed on a previous thread. Too awesome to pass up.

".......because flyfishermen are the highest ranking authority on the creeks."----Swinger 9/15/2009

Really? Was it said in jest?

dude.   not awesome at all.  lame.

the fact that you're being a tough guy is even more embarrasing.

It has nothing to do with toughness. Theres nothing tough about typed words.

Why is anybody wasting their time with this stupid Sh*t?

Dru, Please dont try and get him to take that down. I love that he made that his signature. It makes me laugh every time I see. The reason I get such amusement out of it is because I dont even remember why I wrote that. But it is sounds like something I would print. Dude even dated it to make it official.
I remember making  a statement about women or wives fishing along time ago. Not the last thread that was going on about that but the one before that. Some kid called me out on one of my comments like a year later. It was great. People really take this stuff serious.
 
Anadromous Loomis, You guys get it. Some sooner than others.   Just like swinging for steelhead. I dont try and catch them all, just after the players.
 
 
Jim, Did I ever come out and say that I hated pinners? Get with Carp "my biographer," and see if I said that. Would ya?

That was the exact point. I think the quotes funny as hell.

Whether anybody else thinks its funny doesn't matter much to me.

Dude thats funny because yours is killer.

Yet again your comments don't mean much to me, but you keep running your mouth and wasting everyones valuable air.

I kind of admire how swing can get peoples panties in a twist...He posts then sits back to watch the show. It is a bit like fishing, throw out the bait and wait. Carphead...you disappoint. Carp are typically more discriminating about what they bite on.

I know. I just read all three pages of this thread and laughed in spite of myself at the cracks that both sides were making.

As for my fishing-method opinions: my opinion is that fishing is awesome.

I can't believe grown men argue like this over which fishing method is better...pathetic
