All great stuff , all speed the reels up to thumb burning speeds , but all 15 year old technology.

I would look into whatever Ryan and that bunch is using for "the latest" technology.
Ok, you are in Cumberland and I'm in Pascoag so as soon as I get the reel back we can meet at Starbucks in Lincoln Mall and you can see what they did. At the same time you can build me a rod to pair with it. fair enough??

No boat, back in the suds.
