Steve - I think it is an honor to be "Googled", not "Googaned"

Gee steve I guess you'll have to start making references to Panamanian hohouses and jealous husbands in everything you write if you ever want to get over your googan status. That's the mark of a REAL surf guru!!

nah....keep it!

BB - The "Technical" term for that method of lure retreival is called: Backwinding ... It is a practice most commonly used by tourists with Honey Lamis and Penn 6500 reels on Nantucket. It is also somewhat frequently seen at the Ditch.

Now, one way to induce "Backwinding" amongst elite Tourist Anglers is to have a couple guys show up using conventional gear. With the conventional reels sitting on top of the rod, the method challenged tourist sees this and in order to prevent him or herself looking like a fool, rotates the typically Penn 6500 Spinning reel typically mounted on a Honey Lami rod 180 degrees and starts turning the handle in reverse. Sadly, this in fact seperates the unkowing tourist from the knowing tourist.

Talking

ALRIGHTY THEN! Captain Smarmy here, suave and ingratiating is my kind of talk. Since ingratiating means smooth as well that makes me a smarmy goog who is suave and smooth. Is that like James Bond? Shaken, not stirred.

Why even try.........
