Tall means I have to take half as many steps on the rocks.....thus cutting the opportunity of turning an ankle in half!!  Plus we can wade in deeper water...which I am guessing is what Flap is referring to?! Biggest disadvantage to being tall is when you catch a big fish.....they all look small in the pictures! There is your biggest advantage right there for being short......guys like Tagger can make a schoolie look like it weighs 40 pounds!!  Just ribbin' you Ed! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Casting momentum - the biggest advantage, like a tall pitcher. A ten foot pole cast by a tall person is launching from way up.

.................you GIANTS have onehelluvalot farther to FALL.
not that i would wish anything like that on you and Flap,,,,,,,,,,,,
prolly hurts more the farther you fall 
and another disadvantage would be that you guys are expected
to be able to reach farther and deeeeper; so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

that is attached to such God given loftinesses.* that is all,

The needle I was using this week that outperformed all the others was only 5 inches long, yet the bass wanted it more than the others.
Hmmm... what a metaphor! |
Why even try.........
