It seems like I often miss the best conversations in the shop. There was one last week that I’m sure we’ll be talking about for a long time. It went something like this:
Customer: You think I can throw a 450 grain sink tip on an 8-weight?
B: It’s like having sex with a fat chick. It works and mostly feels good, but it’s not something you would want to tell your friends about or have someone watch.
Apparently the customer just sheepishly looked down and shook his head. When I heard about this via text I laughed out loud. Good thing I wasn’t there…
Amongst ourselves, we have taken to calling sink tip lines “fat chicks”. That one is going to be around a while…
