With the way Joe at WalMart is holding that rod and reel -- I am grateful that he hadn't been promoted to the firearms department -- at least that we know of.

;D ;D ;D

Best,

Fairly common actually... I often notice it in movies and TV. Actors holding rod upside down, using lures on a fly rod etc. Most people don't notice i guess, except for those interested. Same with firearms discipline. (i was talking with a friend of mine who is an avid horseback rider. She said the same thing-- horseback riders in the movies often seem to have never been on a horse in their lives.) (my new thing is actors on bicycles being wholly incompetent riders. Bugs me.)

I guess life is full of things like that. It takes experience to just be able to carry something without looking like a novice. My favorite is using the paddle backward on a kayak, SUP or canoe.

I saw a lady holding a spinning rod like that. She and her husband were in a $20,000 bass boat.
