;D ;D ;D ;D Then go back to step 1
Lee, don't forget that what is optimal for an 80gm Coltsniper is suboptimal for a 100gm Coltsniper not to mention a live bait or Tady 45 or a Salas 6X or a 160gm Flat Fall... it never ends, and why would you want it to? Being a tackle ho is a lifestyle, and I try to live it large! Why should Alan aim for less? You don't think that 3 rigs will get it done, do you? I didn't think so!
Unfortunately for all of us.
There is no known cure
I may have a problem? We may fish for tuna & I don't have the right reel for tuna so i ask my friends to loan me a reel for tuna just in case we do fish for tuna I have a couple of rods for tuna but not quite the rite reels for tuna :o problem solved today, but maybe i need more for tuna ;D ;D ;D Oh lord is there a step for this!!!

BT,
I have a full roller Harnell stand up and a International 80 that I can loan you if you need a setup for the cows.
You would definitely have the heaviest rig on the boat.........

To be fair to Sensei....Rockfish might be just about the least discriminating fish on planet Earth. :D

That's just when they get a little excited! :)
It only seems like that is all the time. :P
three times in my life i have seen a school of blue fin go stupid. now THAT is amazing!
Alan now you can give your old rod and reels to your daughter. Then she would have to find a boy friend that likes to fish. Then you can start the twelve step program all over again. Then comes the grand children and the never ending process continues. I see your retiring I really don't see how your going to do it with your addiction.

LOL, this was inevitable :)
OK, so I go to Fisherman's Warehouse this morning to get my new YoYo rod for my brand new US Senator 113N and wind up with a Phenix Black Diamond 20-60 in my hands. I held it , caressed it and took out into the light ;D ;D ;D I then hear a voice "Tim,Tim,Tim" "that's not what you came for" ...I looked at Patrick and then he said "That wont fit your reel"...Thank god for friends :o Yes Alan we need meetings ;D I did wind up with a 7' Calstar WC-670-C 20-50 ... I must have that Black Diamond ;D ;D ;D ( next year)
Don't they look great together!

I know this is old, but I have a problem. I have somehow come across a Newell 113H stand with nothing atached to it. It is bothering me, I know I can sell it, but it would break my heart to sell anything that says Newell on it. Is it crazy to buy a new reel and bars to put the stand together?
Alan, you have ruined me!
