reel safety lines

[AT Grimaldi]

I have a solution.

I am going to make mine by learning how to splice eye loops for both the carabiner end and the eye loop end. I'll make them 12' long. I'll clip to the reel and the other end to the backer plate of that particular rod holder. then tightly coil up the surplus line and put a rubber band around it. That way, it should be out of the way and yet if needed, I just use it and the rubber band gives way.

I think I am spending far too much time inside this winter.

Can the squid be here yet?
