  1. I sure hope they dont. There's finally an interesting tournament trail to watch. BASS is boring and not thrilling at all. And FLW never got any love. I do not like the 5 bass formats. I enjoy watching fish get caught. At most I'd say raise the weight to 2lbs. Besides that everything is perfect. Sure gonna miss watching swindle fish sad to see him go. No loss there
  2. Also looking at these. Lews is just a few blocks away maybe i should pop in and say hello.
  3. This is my grip except with my right of course. I like the have my leverage forward on the rod same with spinning. I've never thought of my casting gear any different then my spinning on retrieve. Ill pay attention next time i get out see if i do anything different. This shows how behind i am but im just now figuring out what rod power is. Iv always used rods putting money into the reel. Any advice on what a good rod should "be"? Iv always thought it was the real that mattered most.
  4. They are hard to find even in new in store.
  5. I have always palmed my reels when casting also so thats another advantage i have found with left retrive. Never tried these new low pro reels im not sure im going to like it. Looking to get 2 BPS PQ friday maybe 3 yea probably 3.
  6. Growing up using i left hand retrieve i always thought the hand switching was funny. I tried a right hand reel once. ordered it buy mistake it last about an 30 min. All in the muscle memory after 10-11 years i couldnt do anything with it. Dad got a kick out of watching me try though.
  7. So this question has plauged me since i was around 12-13. Why do right handed fisherman use right hand retrieve rods? I hhave always used a left hand retrieve, and it seems like the logical opytion. Cast with right reel with left all one smooth motion not this switching hands to reel i see so many do. Anyway not trying to bash anyone just always beem a question thats bothered me and it makes buying a new reel such a pain.
