Thanks, Bry - I've been trying to figure out what I should be looking at for a reel - Newell's come up a few times -

I was using my 500 Jigmaster w/30 mono on it when I got a little...uh... overconfidant...

I was talking to Alberto at the EBA show about his Saltiga Surf - which was damned nice - but I think I oughta look for something else before putting $400+ into a convench -

If you're at the meeting tonite I'll talk to ya about it -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
