Casting option in Florida for unknown quantity getting stick (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
fly rod
'casting option' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'florida for unknown quantity getting stick' is the wordplay.
'florida' becomes 'fl'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'unknown quantity' becomes 'y' (algebra).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'stick' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this before**).
'fl'+'y'+'rod'='FLY ROD'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
