HA!.......That's exactly why 40 years ago I put all my bait casters, except one, in a 5 gal bucket & threw them overboard in a north central MN lake!

Not that I'm claiming to be Al Gore or anything, but I hadn't invented GPS yet, back then.

Thanks to this site I have plenty of backups also, and I'm excellent at untangling birds nests because I've had plenty of practice
