We at the Trout Underground surrendered in the bikini wars some time ago — beaten by bloggers of considerably less moral fiber (and you know who you are, Moldy), but that doesn’t mean the odd border skirmish doesn’t flare up now and again.
In fact, Alert Trout Underground Horndog College Student “Jack” alerted us to the following shocking use of photography to demean serious fly fishers everywhere, and we wanted to be the first to condem this sort of thing by publishing a large picture of it:
If you’re like me, you’re shocked (shocked!) at the abuse this fly rod is receiving.
You may resume your normal lives.

What we’re looking at is the perfect ad for the Shakespeare “Ugly Stick” fly rod.

Well well well. This is a sorry thing for middle aged (if you’re going to live to 120) slightly flabby fly fishermen to have to gaze upon. My, my my. It’s a very nice, uh, er, oh…fly rod. I woke up at 3:30 in the morning to come look at this? But, you know, perhaps this young lady could use some assistance with her fly casting. I think I’m gonna go back to bed.

Visually stunning.
Also swollen beyond recognition by sundown. Add the mosquito bites together with the large abrasion from the slide down the bank, couple that with the blisters from all the helpful fellows insisting on casting instruction – and you are looking at an elephantine angry gluteus – determined to make you pay maximus.
While she is busy scratching all of that swollen real estate in the booth at Jerry’s, you will have time to reflect on your fate

Is this how Orvis develops the flex ratings for their rods?
If not it’s something to think about for the next catalog. Beats the heck out of woodchip-filled dog beds.

This is what I get for giving you the big guns tom? “horndog?” perhaps I’ll funnel the info over to Moldy…might be more worthwhile for my time…haha

kbarton: You’ve gotta be willing to suspend that disbelief or advertising will simply have no effect on you. And that’s un-American…
Sully: If so, then I want a job at Orvis’ labs.
C4C: Hey — I crossed it out, didn’t I?
