I bought one to test it out. Should have bought more. On my second cast, I had a bass take it that was 4-5 pounds and then he threw the hook. I was bummed. 5 minutes later another one about the same size hit again and this time took me right into a tree stump and broke me off. My two biggest bass hits on a fly rod within 5 minutes and I don't have any more of that fly. Need to buy more.
