Trying to hold the line on our fishing gear.
While most are looking for new stuff at shows this time of year , Funny thing is that other than the new blanks , We (Smokey and I ) are doing all we can to make sure we can do it the same way we have been the last several years. We stocked up on the discontinued black Big Gamereels , looking to get some spectron , making jigs with Mustad hooks etc. Why change what works so well??
The only new thing I am looking forward to this year is trying the Mr Wigglys I bought last year.
I do wish someone would come out with a braid like the Cortland spectron used to be or even better if possible. The new Cortland spectron just isn't as good and its the only noticeable thing that has changed (unfortunately for the worse) in the way we've been doing things for a long time.
I am looking into some new rod blanks. I was very hot for a ziplex last year but getting the blanks proved difficult. I've been researching a new blank type that apparently is now winning all the casting world records etc. and don't break the bank in cost. I'm trying to see if they have models that will be good for Jigging the canal and models for beach and rock fishing in the open water. If it pans out , you'll be hearing about it.
