I will fish with anything after long withdrawals from Fly fishing. But I definitely prefer to use a FR ! And if I could Fly fish all the time , I probably would not even own a SR ! I have told others that 1 fish on the FR is equal to 10 fish on a SR ! At least that is my perception of the excitement / Fun level between the two different types of fishing ! Especially when they are caught on a fly that I tied ! THE TUG IS THE DRUG !!!
