I've never tried the float-n-fly method - but I would bet in the early days there were "naysayers" to that too. "That's not fishing, you are using a bobber", etc. But then it took off - how many guys do you know now lugging around 8-9 foot spinning rods looking more like crappie fishermen than bass fishermen?

Don't sweat it! You are catching! And most of the time you are, like most, just fishing.... there is a reason they call it fishing and not catching! LOL

Tight Lines - oh, I guess you alredy have tight lines - trolling would keep them tight all the time!
