Bailess Reels

Pretty much its all my boys ever used from the surf. It was hard at first but they are proficient with them now. I let the fish at night with me for the first time a few weeks ago. They have come with me many times at night usually one at a time for over 2 years. My now 11 yr old was with me when I landed my personal best from the rocks, 47 lbs.They have kokers and a light and know how to walk on the rocks with out using the light and when to use it. The 11 yr old is better with the vs than the 12 yr old. I had him casting and retreving an eel the other night with a 200 vs on a 9' stick. I only had to straighten him out like 2 times in a little over 2 hours. He didnt hook up anything but did get some taps. I cant wait to get them into wetsuits for some deep wading (next yr I think), they both swim like fish and wont be long before they surpass the old man. I think they will appreciate being able to use the bailess reel more and more as they get older.
