[cool][#0000ff]Hey, Special K, a good point indeed. Some folks are so accustomed to winching up little perchies, bluegills and such, that they do not consider the importance of "Plan B"...hooking a fish big enough to pop your line, if you do not have a smooth drag. Trying to adjust a too-tight drag as a big fish pulls your rod tip into the hole is a bit late. I have seen a few of those scenarios...and heard the loud pop of the line and the "colorful" words that followed.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I suppose there are still a few folks on this forum that think "drag" refers to how they dress in California. Oh yeah, howzit lookin' for your opportunity?[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the way, the final tally is in...for the Pelican Lake unsynchronized swimming meet. 3 totally wrecked reels and a digital camera that cannot be revived. Those bluegill were expensive.[/#0000ff]
