So I just did a 'copy and paste' of everything MacMillan and Jock Scot said and saved it in a file named "Kilt logic 101".

But then Jock HAD to mention fly rods and I looked over at my collection of hand made bamboo rods and my heart sank.

I'm going to need a second job

Seriously, I think there are great points being made hear about building one's kilt kit primarily from a point of quality and usefulness.

Great thread Matt!

(I'm going back to note taking now)
