#4Nice photo Ron.
I’ve got a couple of them and use them all the time. They’re great fishing reels, and beautiful !

#5If I wasn't someone who has the awkward combination of being left-handed and right-armed (there are more than a few of us out here), I'd love to fish this reel. But reeling with my left hand and casting with my right is so natural and comfortable to me I just enjoy their beauty. And take their photos!searun wrote:Nice photo Ron.

By the way, nice to hear from a neighbor. I'd like to do more searun chasing once I retire and have more time. Standing hip deep along a Puget Sound shoreline is wonderful, but when you add a salt-water supercharged cutthroat trout to the mix its downright awesome.

#6"Wonderful" it is!
Times'a wastin' Ron. When fishing is allowed again, let's go.

#8I prefer impregnated rods for the salt. That's just for my own peace of mind, although others have told me they use varnished rods w/o issues.
I was using an 8' 0" Battenkill 3piece 4-1/2oz. until Dave Westburg wrestled it out of my hands!
Until the shutdown, I've recently been enjoying a couple of Sharpes Scotty's... an "88" and an 8'0", both 6wt's.

#9Totally not related to the topic... just a quick note on the mention of salt rod cane pole fishin.
Hopefully it is not breaking any rules or codes...

Thanks, that was a beautiful tiger. Other tigers I'd caught were brown toned, this one somehow picked up the green back of the brookie half. I am sad to be missing this spring's lake fishing in our Okanogan region where I lucked into that fish. Hopefully the fall fishery will be open. Here's a link to that photo on my photo website and a reposted image via Postimage...
