B.F.B…sometimes I am compelled to unseal a new bottle of rum…Dudley made me do it.
Of course I only do this on weekends, when I am less likely to stumble as I try to put on my waders and head down to the waters…where in the world is that cap…oh well, we won’t need a cap will we?
You are doing very nicely here…please remember to rinse your reel after coming in from the bay and oh yes…be good to your friends, least they stumble to the truck and need you assistance. Wasn’t it Bob Denver who wrote that song…"Thank God I’m A Salty Boy?..you will fit in fine. Just pass every thing by Dudley and Micus before you test the waters. Jonezee
I cast the ALbright 10wt. at the Marlboro show and was very impressed with it. It was not a light weight rod, but it could throw alot of line.

Let me also just mention what I’m planning to nail knot to that 150 yards or so of 20lb backing. (I’m going to have to work on that bimini twist.)
Current state of research leads me to believe that the best all around line is a clear intermediate sink line. Although I’ve been a Sci Anglers guy for awhile, I’m thinking the Rio Striper 40+ might be the line to get.
That is largely based on a review I discovered on the Ed Mitchell web site.
I have a Teton Tioga 8 reel – which I think is a good value and will work while I’m learning and maybe even well beyond that.
