Johnny got me interested in match angling a few years back.
Really awesome stuff.
Bob Nudd was my hero for a while. :-D

No - this isn't for everybody and it is specialized. I am more with you and people abuse the word ultralight.
We can show them the meaning of ultralight and its ultra power. I tend to add a 1/2 lb. of strength to my line and not go crazy on hooks that can be blown off your hand by wind - but I am certain that 100% of the anglers wouldn't turn away the success and fun they can have with the good stuff.
We are going to have some fun coming up.

Very nice, Must have been a blast. Problem is that this method of match fishing or technique would not be known to 99.9 % of US based Anglers.
Funny, I think the overall trend is going from UL to Micro to Nano.
