thats how long my love/hate has been going with the canal ...but the changes have been many. from live bait herrin-pogies in the basket to fresh iced dead herrin to chunkin pogies all fished on conv gear w/ mono......then the change first it was rubber shad, than sloggo type things ,than look alike wood/plastics plugs,but the big change was "braids" than reels made for distance casting..the rod were there already.. a balanced spinning combo makes everyone a distance caster .....imo.... in the late 80s it changed, why ??? the bass came back......and so did the fisherman ,plus 10 of his friends . w/ live tanks full of herrin poached from local runs.make room they said,plus a lot of other words .the push was on ,and it never stopped .....but dont blame no one but yourself. u can't stop progress . if u think about WE , the everyday fisherman are making the changes ..dave...writing about didn't help either.....
