good people stuff........love it

AUld fAUx@ yep. he asked me about you.

just a forgotten tune

one of my favorite theme songs

No, but most of my fishing is inshore, and regulars at it use a decent value reel vs the high end stuff because of the harsh conditions. I would never take my better bass rigs to the bay or surf for a morning. Most important thing here is have the drag set right and flushing all with fresh water after use. Bill Dance had a good piece on setting your drag years ago for any type of fishing. On setting the drag the rod comes into play. Stand up and drop the line with lure to the ground. With a foot on the bait pull the rod up and adjust drag until line easily and smoothly comes off the reel.

Wow, was about to suggest a value package when thinking $400 to much. You guys would shame me for the fly rig my son bought and left with me.

Would think good line a must. Have had some bad experiences trying to fly fish because the line actually sank a bit.

There is a reason you do not lip a saltwater if unsure or grab its gill plate.

Barracuda by one of my sons last week.

The last time I fished with a fly fisherman got arrested. For assaulting a fly fisherman.

Great topic TigerRef - Golfs college song

and my college song

Agree with Shocks on the beginning but never a Deep Purple fan. Maybe a bit heavy. Of course I was never a music guru but really started to enjoy again a few years ago with good reason.
