Floating Fly Line
Question about Fly Fishing?
I have a pool i have not used in my garage i tried to unreel the spool to let out the line "for some air" and i noticed after the floating line it was tied to some kind of string that looked kind of like kite string. Is that normal? Whats its purpose? Seems pretty weak. Also just to make sure i got this right. The line attaches to the leader and the leader attaches to the Tippet and the tippet to the Fly?
Oh and what is the tippet made out of and does anyone have a recommendation for a good one for Bass fishing to Pan Fishing? Thanks!
The Kite string that your talking about is called fly line backing. This is attached to the back end of the fly line generally with a nail knot.
The purpose of the backing is to one fill the reel up since the fly line is generally around 80-100 feet long and will not completely fill up the fly reel. Having the backing on the fly reel helps keep the fly line from developing memory (coils) so that you can cast and manage your line easier.
Since your fly line is not very long, you generally have anywhere from 50-125 yards of backing on your reel in case you get a fish on your line that takes a very long run. If your fly fishing for saltwater species you may have as much as 350+ yards of fly line backing on your reel to ensure the fish does not spool you.
Backing is attached to your fly line, where the butt section of your leader is attached to the front of your fly line. Most fly fisherman fish with pre-tapered leaders that are either made out of monofilament fishing line or fluorocarbon line. New tapered leaders that come out of a package generally have 24" of tippet, which is the last portion of the leader. You'll notice that the leader is very thick at the butt section and tapers down to a smaller diameter at the tippet section of the leader. This is the section that you attach your fly too.
Hope this helps you out. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions by visiting my website at www.kent-klewein.com

Content vs. Intent / Is Attraction Marketing Dead?
Attraction marketing relies on a process of reeling in followers based on the effectiveness of the bait. Perhaps we need to consider the quality of the information we are using to cast into the sea prospects as well as our techniques. Continuing, for a moment, with the fishing theme, not all fly fishermen are created equal. They may use the same bait but some know how cast and some don't. Some fishermen catch their limit and others limit their catch.
The answer we are looking for may not be found in the content of the free information as much as the integrity of the source. I believe that the answer is based on a well defined purpose of the messenger. Does the messenger have a fundamental intent to genuinely make a difference in the life of the subscriber? Think of this as a catch and release program. We can catch em, eat em and throw away the bones or we can catch em, and release em, to prosper and do good things.
It all comes back to the old saying "I don't care what you know until I know you care." The "something for nothing" message wears a little thin once reality hits and you find yourself with more expense than income. Hype is available in abundance. What people are seeking is hope not hype.
I don't personally see any great problem with the concept of "Attraction Marketing." The approach may vary as the market evolves; however, anyone in business is looking to attract consumers. So the question is "What do you have to offer beyond the bait?"
There is a lot of information that can provide a track to run on. Some of the information is packaged in newsletters or ezines, or manuals or in random articles. We all want good, current information. More importantly, we need a viable source of information backed by someone that can effectively support the application of what we have learned.
There is a concept floating around that suggests that all we need is to keep reselling the same information until the consumers get the picture and begin using the information. It is perfectly valid to recognize that there will always be those individuals who never advance beyond the consumer stage. For the "Treadmill Consumer" there will never be enough content regardless of the quality.
There are two things required to get people off of the treadmill and on the desired path. The first thing is a motivated commitment to do whatever it takes to get it done. The second requirement is the mentor who can provide the model for taking action. It is useless to gather tons of information with no action. On the other hand minimal information with action and purpose can produce great things.
If we are going to be in the "Attraction" business we need to provide some genuine mentorship to those who make the connection. This is where personal substance kicks in. If all you have done is gather and redistribute information, you may be in trouble. If, however, you have established personal purpose and integrity that others can trust, then you can earn the right to lead others.
It is not enough to have products and opportunities to sell. Lord knows there is no shortage of "stuff" for any and all consumers. What we need is people, who are willing to put themselves on the line, take their eyes off of themselves and focus on the needs of those whom we can serve.
Caution: There will always be those individuals who will suck the life out of you if you let them. You will never build an effective network made up of unmotivated followers. To be clear, I'm not knocking those who choose to follow. In fact we need followers. I am specifically referring to the requirements to build a large, active network. You are looking for leaders or people with the potential to become leaders. Some people are ready, willing and able to step up and make it happen and some people are not.
So, to the subject of attraction marketing- Yes? No? Maybe? Of course, we will always need to attract fellow marketing enthusiasts. Maybe we can place our focus on "Relationship Marketing." Not much is going to happen until we begin to build relationship. This is where the rubber meets the road. I believe that the motivation and drive behind the message we offer is often more important than the information itself as we move forward to build relationships.
