Thanks, men

Just wanted to get a feel for what was involved - definitely don't want to wreck the rod - if that was the risk, I'd just leave it a conventional.

Just thought with one as a spinner it would give me more options next season to have both rigged and ready to go for different apps.

I've had good luck with hardloys so far - that's probably gonna be the call.

Actually, I have to go over to the Mainland this week - Bry, do you have a number for Bob at Wickford RW - you can PM me if that's more appropriate. I've had him recommended before. If he's around I'll bring the rod over for him to look at.

I won the Spring trip with piemma at The Habs Raffle - I just want to make sure I'm locked and loaded for that one...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
