Tim Coleman, retired New England Fisherman Editor, has contributed two new (not reprints) articles to the SRI article section.
They are quite good.
One "The Seven-Foot Season" is on the rise of smaller rods - particularly applicable for veteran anglers whose backs are not as young as they used to be.
The other, "Worms That Work" is about the effectiveness of long rubber worms. SRI Artilce Page
Great reads! I have a 7' St. Croix premier mh that I used to fish w/ all the time. I now usually use an 8' avid so I can throw some bigger stuff, but the 7' took more than its share of big fish from the shore. I'm not old yet though!
That rod is awesome. Casts a mile with #10 and rated at 3/4 but throws 1oz no problem all day. Only problem is you won't release many large with the long fight.
Yes, he's older now.
He got a 63# from shore - but he's never mentioned it to me...
Don't underestimate how much a guy like Tim could help you if he chooses to.
I'm not old yet though!
Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.
