I’m disqualifying all future findings of the shootout participants on the grounds it took them 8 months to determine EC Powell rods have memorable casting characteristics and would be “a nice rod to fish”. It should have been more like 8 seconds.

"This kind of science" being the subjective kind with hard to control variables? I'll read the results with fervor and drool, and enjoy the test for its entertainment value :)
