The 1205 built conventional is still my favorite rod (the SSU I built is a spinner ). Fortunately, I'm too decrepit to break one casting.
Wow Numby good call. I agree with you 100 percent. Next thing you know you'll be buying octopus hooks and elvers.

Will be building an SSU120MH soon for myself. Still fishing a conventional 1205 with a 229 newell on it. Levelwinds of any kind are for girls and non athletes.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
