Big Spinner/ 2.5 - 4 oz/ Rocks

[SAUERKRAUT]

I just cannot think of anything depricating to say to the Numbskull for acquiring that ZB25...a real nice piece of machinery. What is the reel weight compared to a VS250? Rod? Don't make the decision so difficult...get a 1321L blank, cut on it top and bottom to make it the length and tip size action you want...and start wrapping. A 45 mm. or so wire gathering guide, SiC 30 on down and out. You have roughly 3 weeks to get the rod done, and start growing a right index finger callus.

Ain't going to be my primary reel. Conventional stuff is too much lighter, more powerful, and simpler. Weight and line twist as well as uselessly short shock leaders are still major negatives no matter how nice a tool it is. I got it to swim with at one local spot, because I'm fed up with driving there at 2 AM and finding you on the only good rock. A 1321L isn't going to do it.

Actually, after busting his nutz about the reel, there are two people I know that should have this reel and thats him and Sauerkraut.

They fish hard, harder than me thats for sure and if your gonna mingle with the fish in thier environment then you should probably have a reel that is at home above or below the water line.

( Though they probably walk over more fish than they realize getting out to that certain rock along a certain shore)

"Is the 1322 a good option or does it indeed "fold with anything over 3 oz"?"

canal cowboy was sending 4 ounces two thirds of the way across the canal saturday afternoon on that setup with a tall spool diawa/spinner. And I mean he was laying into it

We all threw from 1pm to roughly 3 pm, not non-stop but it wasnt like he only made the cast a half dozen times.
