I've been studying the application of the JW Ambush Line. There are a lot of nice video tutorials on the internet regarding the use of this line on single handed rods.
So, what can someone with a switch rod do with all the various gyrations of lines that an accomplished caster using the Ambush line with a traditional 9' or even the venerable 9'-6" 'sticks' cannot do?
Is "Switch" the fly guys "game improvement" golf club.....?
As an aside, I keep wondering what the manufacturers are doing by making some of this stuff so complicated..... At the 'end of the day', it's still the "Indian" not the "arrow", right?!
Side bar: I am not a crumudgeon with regards to all the development of fly gear over the past 10 years... I think it's great. I understand that "new" products stimulate new sales, etc. I think traditional spey is wonderful and has its place. My MO in all this is knowing what I can really do without as I clean out the rod rack further...... I've either quit some kinds of fishing altogether from lack of interest and/or FISH, or I am going minimalist....
