    Joni,
    The only way that bend would look better would be if there was fish on the other end. I can hardly wait to take another on my Fenwick 755. Maybe this Saturday.

    The rod is a parabolic McFarland 8' 5 weight, the line is Sharkskin GPX, and he was hitting 70' to 80' constantly. A little park practice, and I agree LOTECH, a finned PROP would complete the picture.
