[font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1]Post:[/size][/black][/font] [font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1]I can see it now FG........... reeling back all the form in the world. She starts the whip forward the fly dances just above the water........... all of a sudden the elusive gloden toothless walleye leaps for the Heavens............ snatches that prised trout fly and heads for Davey Jones locker..........nearly pulling rod and reel from the unsepecting FG's hand.............. quiclky she spins the toon and plink the snippet breaks (can they even do that).......... the backlash from the force unravles her line from the pole ................. We're all watching to see how ya re-string that 10 footer kiddo LOL

I can almost see that in my head LMAO.
Saber is right, it is easy to restring a rod in water. One thing though, I have had no break offs (knock on wood). The length of the rod absorbs a lot, plus with the drag set right, no back lash and a sweat wizzing sound. Then I turn around and go in reverse as fast as I can to catch up. The Only time a fish has broke me off was flipping out of the net while I was holding the line and rod, then dive straight down, and the other time of course, the underwater tree.
Patience is a must in FF.
