[black][size 3]Right On, TD.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]When I gave my method of restringing a rod, I was thinking of a fly rod. I have never had to restring a spinning rod on the water.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]If I have only one or on occasion two rods with me on a fishing outing, I will quite often change spools/line to fish at different depths in the water column.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Most of my fly reels are nothing special, metalists, cheep Okumas, and STH with plastic spools. I have always looked at a fly reel as just a place to store line, and even though I'll spend several hundred dollars on the rod, I'm pretty cheap when it comes to reels. (Even though I use and appreciate a good drag system on a fly reel, I have never been taken into my backing by a fish. Maybe I need to start fishing for larger fish.)[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]In retrospect, I think that any problem that I have had with spinning reels, has been caused by dust and dirt rather than water.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Bait casting reels that I use seem to be about bullet proof and I think that they are more complex with tighter tolerances than any others.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[black][size 3]Sorry about the rambling, but like any old man, I tend to impart more detail than necessary to convey a thought.[/size][/black]
