That's expecting a lot from JimH or Frizzle.
Take one, or both of them, up to Alaska with you on the back of that
motorcycle. I'm sure you'll find a suitable place to 'let them
loose'.......(as long as it isn't in Canada).


I must have missed the vote that elected Herring the Ms. Manners of
rec.boats.


You probably missed it. It was hidden in a boating related post. Now, be nice!


Well, as long as I don't have to hold hands with or kiss any of your
buddies here.

I restrung my Bay reels. All in Fireline except for the little one,
whidh got Spectra Power-Pro as an experiment. One reel is missing; my
new Penn Slammer, which is awaiting a rod I ordered.

From left to right:

A pair of Shimano 251s on Shimano rods. These are the same as the 250s,
but for lefties.

A Penn 4300 spinner on a whippy little 5' Ugly Stick.

My wife's Penn 4500 on an Ugly Stick.

My Penn 4400 on a Star Rod.

My Penn 4600 on a Star Rod.

My Shimano Charter Special on a Star trolling rod.


I use the latter when bottom fishing at the CBBT in case something heavy
happens along. But the lighter rigs are more than sufficient for
anything in the Bay, even 25-pound stripers.

Is fireline a braided line? I like the little Penn 4300. Got two of them on Ugly
Sticks that just stay on the boat in case I decide to do some jigging or casting
to breakers, or playing in the rips. After the fish today, I'm a big fan of
Okuma reels for trolling.

You're not required to hold hands with anyone that I know of.
