Jim, you are quite right regarding the straight plane of reference. Thanks, this is a new course of thought for me, and it has opened some new possibilities. OK, for one thing, you'll have to set up your reel for left hand retrieve for the drag to work. Other than that, I see no problems with it, and many advantages. Due to the decreased angle of retrieve, there will be less line wear, less wear on the reel, and overall better performance of all components. Great idea, IMHO!

Your post made me have a good chuckle - thanks for that. You forgot to mention - was it uphill both ways? http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Bowcrow...even tho the post was probably making fun of me (the fish don't care) I got quite a chuckle out of it myself. What a great way with words. Wish I could write like that. I know the fish don't care, but I do. It's the fun of it all. The other day I was fishing, wanted to go deeper with a wet fly, just twisted on a gold beadhead on the barb end. Got three strikes and lost the fly (Purple Luigi) on the last strike. That's the fun of it all I think.
You must have a great sense of humor Bowcrow....no wonder you enjoyed the post....uphill boaf ways?
