How hard is it to learn to fly fish?

Ya South Bend is a real winner let me tell ya. I've bought bobbers from them (wal-mart loves to carry south bend since it's a discount store) that cracked the first time using them. I've bought south bend swivels that broke when I set the hook on a fish (they were weaker than my 10 lb. test line). Bottom line, don't bother with south bend ANYTHING. You'll regret it later.

I still have and use that south bend reel, but I loaded my sinking line onto it, since I only use that from my float tube on stillwaters, where it doesn't cause as much of a nuisance.

I have a Martin brand reel that costs about the same as south bend that I use for my floating line and it works great.
