Does your incessant whining make you feel better?  How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

				 | I have to chuckle,Andy has no boat but plenty of tuna gear. Gup has a boat and no tuna gear?  For what it's worth Ray,get yourself a spinning rod from Ralph Craft and use it for jigging too. You can't use a jigger to cast with. Then bend over and spill big money on a reel. The makaira  is great and so is the Avet raptors. For spinning buy a vs or stella.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
