00:01That's right, Binford Tools is proud to present Tim, the Tool Man, Taylor!
00:14Welcome once again to Tool Time. I'm your host, Tim, the Tool Man, Taylor, and you all know my assistant,
00:19Al Catch of the Day, Borland.
00:22It's Male Hobby Week all this week on Tool Time, and today Al and I are doing our Tool Time
00:28salute.
00:30Shhhhhh.
00:32Fishing.
00:33You know, hobbies are important to me because they allow us to wind down a little bit, you know, and
00:37I don't know, I can't speak for everybody, but I work awful hard all week long.
00:40You have another job somewhere, Tim?
00:46We're talking about fly fishing today. In order to get good information based on it, we've had a special guest.
00:51I want a warm Tool Time welcome for Ace Angler, Chuck Norwood.
00:54Let's go!
01:01Perfect, Chuck.
01:03Thanks, Tim.
01:04Well, you bought a nice section of rods here, boy. I'd love to see a worm try to wiggle off
01:09one of those big bad boys, huh?
01:11Well, actually, Tim, with fly fishing, there's no live bait involved. The fish are drawn to the fly. And under
01:17the heading of flies, you've got your two basic types.
01:20I'd be open and closed, Chuck.
01:25I think Chuck was referring to the dry fly and the wet fly.
01:28Yeah, this is a joke, Al.
01:29The dry fly floats on top of the water, whereas your wet flies kept you out of every major restaurant
01:35in the Detroit area.
01:38How about a little demonstration?
01:40Yeah, this first one, Tim, is a real classic. It's handmade bamboo. Look at this.
01:46Well, that's a good-looking rod.
01:48Yeah.
01:48The prices for that start at about $800.
01:59Now it's $1,600. You've got two of them.
02:02Now, we have an insurance policy for these little accidents.
02:05Actually, Tim, our insurance canceled after fourth show.
02:09Well, glue it. What do we got now?
02:11Well, this next one's my personal favorite.
02:13This is a Morgan BXL graphite.
02:16Not even you can break that, Tim.
02:18Don't bet on it.
02:20Boy, that's a beauty. Look at that thing.
02:22I bet you get a big ol' stinky bass on this thing, huh?
02:25Mm-hmm.
02:25Hey, Al. Open up.
02:28You want to be careful using a graphite rod in a lightning storm because it is an excellent conductor of
02:34electricity.
02:35Oh, yeah. We've been known to have a lot of big electrostorms right here in the studio.
02:38Well, I'm just saying that for people who might live in a...
