Just checking in! Tis a bit different. Resist change! I like the new site format, but I'm gonna miss the old one. It's a shame they couldn't transfer all our credincials.....

Hay Spoonfish..you gotta show us guys from Missouri...is that because we get lost really easy??
I'm here Kutter. Being from Missouri, I had to get a moderator to SHOW ME. haa.
We Missouri ******** call that a stringer Kutter. I had to tie him up until my wife got to the ramp with the camera since I forgot to bring it. I used a Penn 310 level wind reel. Its got a superior star drag with very smooth action. It allows me to quickly adust the drag setting based on the phase of the fight I am in. At the boat, I always back the drag setting way off so that as the fish makes those last violent boatside runs he has no friction in which to break me off. As well, the reel has superior torque for winching them off the bottom and gaining line when I need too. Its nice having the level wind also so I dont have to guide the line on the reel as I'm fighting the fish. They are a little pricey retailing for around 100 bucks new, but I think you can find good deals on them via the net. I got mine at Dunns. The reel and my 7 1/2 ugly stick runs me 130 bucks or so. I havnt been able to find anything else that matches that combination. The Ugly Sticks are awesome having a stiff butt section, and light tip so even the "Little Fish" provide plenty of entertainment. You'll get to see my rigs when we go fishing soon. hint hint
