Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
A couple of years ago I bought an Eagle Claw fly rod on special at Walmart in Mansfield for $9. Those Eagle Claw rods aren't the greatest - but $9 is way cheap. Even though they are pretty tippy and don't have enough guides, plenty of people got their start with an Eagle Claw fly rod and seemed to have survived.
Are we back to abusing the Beetle? Really? (actually I'm worried mentioning him could attract him back - sort of like saying Biggie Smalls three times to a mirror)
