You look so cool with that new rod to sling it on!
That thing has more gold than fort knox!
Seriously, My opinion is that all the way around conventional gear is just better, stronger, more acurate.I have rods for different applications, so with conventional I can toss anything. I like the fact that everything is "infront of you" instaed of underneath like a spin rod, You seem to get more power out of the rod when you fish over the top.
The power thing is really dramatic, Steve and I can be on at the same time with 15lb fish, using the same lb test line and simalr rods I seem to get them in twice as fast, steve thinks its that the fish feels more pressure over the top than underneath, who knows, I just like it better
Its also the best way to go for fishing heavy jigs in the canal, or breachways, I would not want to work a jig in a humping current with spin gear, just wasnt made for it......
I dont have anything against spin fisherman! so please dont get the wrong idea! I just like conventional!
Plus " It looks cool fishing it" Thanks for that one Eben
