Well I get a backlash that looks like Troy Palamalu on a bad hair day.
Truck with bulk spool is a 30 minute hike away, get to truck and realize keys are in plug bag back on beach.
3 days later I'm at Roys getting a big old RA spun up for spinning jumbo plugs and eels.
I'm not that much of a purist.

We will be back on the beach before we know it kids. . .
In a thread where you go on about how much better spinning is for casting lures, you post a picture of your Calcutta with a Crippled Herring on it?
