Fishing is very fun and effortless when the correct combinations are achieved. The combination of Mike Kinney and Bob Meiser to produce the 13'6" MKS 8/9 and Loop's Adapted head results in Mike's concept of fishing with the least expenditure of energy. Last week was my first day out with my new MKS 8/9. With a downstream wind of 15 - 20 mph I could double spey, laying the line on the water and shooting it 3' above the water 60 to 70 feet landing the fly under low hanging branches on the opposite side of the river. This with very little effort. The secret of Mike's rod design is let the rod do the work. Even in miserable weather fishing can be fun!!
