The testing lab is closing again

Hey, guess what, water freezes on the power pro line when the temp is twenty degrees. Just went down to the river to test a new swimmer I am working on. Made a few casts and the line started binding up. It was loaded with ice in no time. Got a good idea of how the new weighting setup works though before I was forced to stop.

Reminds me of trying to fly-fish in freezing weather -- so annoying to clear the ice from the tip-tip and snake guides.

Do you have a pic' of the new swimmer, Swimmer?

I'll take a couple and put them up. Still not please with weighting and I am unsure of the lip.
