Osteichthyes Bassturd

Excellent Advice. My reply is practice on the water is even better than thinking about this. And since I can't go where I normally fish until spring, I do exactly what you recommend. Even just reading about this makes me a bit more prepared. ? Feb 7 2021 and its 27 degrees outside.

I have spent a few days reading these comments on St. Croix Vs. G Loomis and the answer is simple. It's the one you are using. Same as Golf clubs in the back of the ruck being a bad place for them. 8 year old thread I found on Feb 7th 2021 looking for a cost effective DSR. As my theme and way to think is from a Kayak. So I tend to fish shorter and tighter in close quarters than most gents here. Ergo, my technique is not only adapted for feel and comfort, it's also a risk reward when you can break rods 2 or 3:1 in a kayak vs a Bass Boat. ? Just thinking out loud in a Covid-19 world

Im 64. The only thing I could see as an advantage is "if" you can do it, it does give your arthritic grip a rest. Say your right hand is cramping from holding the rod and you want to switch. I spin cast almost 100% as a righty. But because I right hand hold the rod, and reel with my left, I have a majority of LH baitcasters. It's a preference since I learned this positional working of a rod/reel as a kid and the left hand did the cranking always. Now that I'm older, I need a break so I sometimes have a RH Baitcast on the crate behind me.

Hello folks. A new Fry here thought I may as well read a lot about stuff I enjoy and comment when appropriate. On number of rods: When I go I tend to stay out 10-12 hrs at a time. So I load up my Kayak with a capacity of what is comfortable to grab depending on the species I like. Bass Lg & Small, Crappie, Bluegill being my targets. So I have a minimum of 5 rods and a max of 7 normally brought in the Kayak every trip. 1 MH BC ,1M BC , 1MH Spin, 1 MSpin 1 or 2 Lt Spin, and most of the time a mag lite DSR if the current allows me to hover over the spot. My crate is rigged for 5 in tow. The other two if I carry are locked and loaded in front. One of those I will drop back or fish. So there is always a rod in my hand. I rarely paddle since it's set up with ETM and it's a Hobbie Outback. The boat of my dreams and All I could convince the boss to allow in the house. Thanks for allowing me in the club.
