This is quite true. I can only say that I no longer lose rigs. I have a Halcyon Rod, but have yet to try it with a rig.... Fishing, it seems, has been put on the back burner for a while. /sigh

As an aside, I've still recieved skill-ups from "fish too small" messages. I also noted that I had an easier time dealing with quus while on the comp/sab.rig setup vs. a "small fish" pole. Unfortunately, I don't remember which small fish rod I was using....which means that I probably broke the pole and lost the rig. I can only assume that the greater "strength" of the composite pole vs. what I was using at the time is a factor.

I suppose that I stuck with my current fishing setup of comp/sab.rig due to outright fear of breaking my Halcyon Rod. I must, at this time, defer to those on the BB who have greater knowledge of such things. ...I'm sure there are better ways of going about leveling fishing and not breaking/losing things. >>System Error beater:Smile:<< /bow Icemage



Doesn't this really say it all? ><
