Called my BVI buddy today and invited him along for my shopping trip for a new drawback/ball combo ( 2" drop and 3/4" raise )
For the Highlander.
He was looking for a gaff hook to take back to Tortola next month.
Found a new fishing store in a local Industrial Park.
More rods, reels and gaff hooks than I've seen in a while. All looked expensive. These people also arrange shark fishing
outings.


What is a drawback/ball combo?

I imagine you've checked, but that 2" drop from the Highlander hitch sure seems like a lot. We used
no drop when towing the boat with the Highlander, but needed about three inches drop when towing
with the Silverado. Maybe the tires on your trailer are a lot smaller.
