Most people don't remember the steel tube fly rods that were sold in the fifties by department stores. They definitely weren't made for fighting strong fish, I think there were best suited for pan fish. I thought hooking a corvina on one would be fun, as soon as I set back on that fish the rod folded. What streamers are you fishing?
