Out drifting Halibut last week and always flyline a bait since you never know when a home guard Yellow or lost White Seabass gets hungry.  Flyline goes off, clear my bottom rig and "Slam" my 501 into gear in a manly way.

Ummm yep that was stupid.  Pelican squawked and the reel locked for a split second before furious grinding ensued.

I spent tons of $ on the stainless sleeve, double dog bridge, 5 stack but I saved $2 by buying a Chinese stainless eccentric jack.  Nobody to blame but myself so I'm waiting for an invoice from Alan for two yokes and Jack's.

A pelican did that???  :o

A Pelican and user error.  I wasn't paying attention and he was in take off mode.
