Reel Repair by Alan Tani

I hit the Sebastian Inlet this morning and caught a snook. I've been fishing in Florida for 12 years now and it's my first time catching any fish on a flair hawk. I'm usually a swimbait and live bait guy.



Poor quality picture but there was a gale warning, 25-30 knot winds, and 10-15 ft seas, so I took the pic and threw her back ASAP.

What's a Flair Hawk?

No, I haven't fished in the Fort Pierce area. Are they good tackle shops?
