[QUOTE=Crafty Angler;607384]I was at my favorite UDL a few years ago and starting to get static discharges touching the guides to take seaweed off. Suddenly there was an incredible blinding flash and everything went white like someone had just popped a camera flash in my face.

Hey CA
I've never heard of that before but thats what it must have been when I was getting shocks from my pole. I thought it was just static. I could feel a zap from the reel and a zap from my foot as I was standing on rocks at the short wall. It was cloudy that day. It didnt scare me at the time but for now on I'll take it as a signal to hit the road.

still by the firelight
and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted river's call
