Slowest Retrieve That's Still Fishable

never saw this post before, Steve, I know you can build blanks for fishing rods and now you're building your own handles !!

never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks Alex.  I could no longer see the photos and tried to fix it.  My life is in shambles.

I missed this, too...  back to Jeff, if he still cares

Steve, great explanation.

What I've found, coming from mostly fresh water fishing & the fish I'm after most a 22" - 25" retrieve works great most of the time. It is lacking in some cases where one wants  their rig back & the bottom of the river is full of snags... Jeff

if getting/staying off the bottom is the big concern, how about those finned/winged sinkers
that [allegedly] plane up from force of retreive, similar to the way a crankbait planes down

I could saw them copying each link of each pic and paste them on the web browser.
