2011-Bought a ZeeBass ZX25 w/bail, have to say it has the best drag of any reel I've ever had, but I've fished Penn's for 27 years. Miss the on/off antireverse. May go to manual pick up this year to see if the distance improves, I think the bail is in the way
Northbar bottle darters- gave them a serious try this year, did well with a few large on them.
2012? Hmmm- new waders that I'll need because of the BS felt ban.
Get my new 9wt and switchrod blanks wrapped, get a new 7wt reel for the switch.
Maybe get a new conventional reel.
