I look back fondly on the hundreds of days spent pounding the water with spinners or trying to figure out how I was going to earn enough money to pay my bait bill
Ive used the previous stella models back to the FD in 1000, 2500 and 3000
The rod features high-end componentry like Cerecoil stripping guides, premium cork, and a lightweight graphene blank, all for half the price of most premium rods on the market
So, to reiterate the rules for stalking carp with a fly rod: Move very slowly, and preferably upstream Dont make any waves, even small ones Limit vibrations and sound Dont let your fly line slap the water near, or land on top of, the carp By adhering to the above rules when approaching a carp, you can get considerably closer than would otherwise be possible
Its still that hit or jolt from a fish when you essentially remove our sense of sight that gets me every single time
