Wow! Thanks for the excellent post from young TubeDude!
I've been having this on my mind and talking about it with fly fishermen and got the advice to check out Mud Hole for supplies to build this rod that will extend my spinning reel fishing capabilities to distance with light lures.
Some have also told me to fish a water weight bubble. I resist that as much as the also effective popular use of Power Bait. Perhaps I might make an aerodynamic slim float with a tungsten worm weight. Water weighted floats just seem like a lot of bulk getting to catch air drag.
Where I was fishing last weekend, there wasn't the room behind me for flyfishing distance and I was even casting further. I want to push the possibilities with a custom rod.
I also like the dip stick use you described which I can do with more fatigue with my surf rods.
Would a 1 or 2 weight long fly rod blank be a good choice for an intended very small lure or medium to small fly using three pound test Nano?
I'm thinking of a light lure loading the rod some perhaps with that custom weighted float. Though I prefer to not have a float at all, I suppose I can compromise with something dense and light.
