NO . . . . . . . . Yes . . . . . . . . . . Maybe . . . . . . . . . . . . Come on Jay - do a little research man, that what makes this site so darn good.

Sounds like you might be somewhat unfamiliar with the inner workings of your reel. If there is a tackle shop near you, perhaps you could take it in. Someone who is familiar with setting up the reel could show you how to do it correctly. Might take a good bit of the guess work out of it - A-Jay

I hear ya - and after seeing them in action - I've forever been on a secret & very covert search for more. If there are any at all out there, whoever has them is doing an extremely effective job at keeping them on the down low. But I'm still looking. A-Jay

Hi Jay, Since you have quite a bit of experience casting revolving spool reels, that Calcutta D should be no problem for you. Once you've set up the brakes and the spool tension adjustments to your liking, that reel will practically cast itself. Tossing big swim baits is a little different and may require that you to alter your actual casting motion slightly to get the right stroke. Just start out slowly and as your accuracy and distance improves so will your confidence and before you know it, you'll be a pro with that Shimano as well. Good Luck A-Jay

Now I'm a Discontinued Bait Snatcher ? I might replace a few hooks or even change out a split ring here or there, I may even over indulge in too much Sushi but a but a Klepto, I am not. A-Jay

Forget about shoveling - if you want or need a little exercise practice your hook-sets A-Jay

So opening a small tackle shop lacks common sense but selling wieners on the street is a solid investment. Interesting. Perhaps one could combine the two. Locate at the local lakes for lunch selling an assortment of finger foods and soft plastics. He could call it Dogs & Hawgs. A-Jay

Good Morning Stitch - Hope todays is a better day for you. See you in 115 days ~ A-Jay

Thanks but it's just the opposite - I doubled it up ! Wait a minute - Mike - is that you ? A-Jay
