Bob,
I don't think you will either!
But there has been a lot of talk over the years of the detrimental effect of heat on nodes and the Millwards book came out which talked about the damage that flaming does to cane, and then there was the "Boo under the microscope" article which showed apparent damage to 'boo when flamed.
I simply, by imperical eveidence, have a hard time with those accusations.
I wish (not really!) that I could say I have had a rod broken due to a fish. The only rod that has ever broken that I made (that I know of) was due to someone using a 2/3 wt as a walking stick on the San Juan!
Mike
PS sounds like this is turning into another thread! Should we move this discussion to a different forum?
