Thanks Bryan. I do more than just paddle my bass all over the lakes and ponds. I also have a broken trout rod that a Yellowtail did a number on about 2 months ago. I'm waiting for the replacement to get to the store. It has a lifetime warranty and it's rated for 2-6lb line.
Silly me. I was fishing for another species (again) when it got hit. If landed, could have been a new line class record for the California yellowtail with 4lb line.
In answer to the thread question, I really don't get much time to practice. I am usually fishing at some time during the day for 2 to 3 hours minimum. (Whatever it takes for the particular test per trip) Sometimes with the flyswatter, sometimes with the flipping stick or whatever I need at the time.
I always keep 2 flyrods, 2 ultra light spinning rods, 1 med and 1 med/hvy bass rod, 1 surf rod and 1 rod that will suffice for anything anywhere, on any Boat, bank, pier, jetty, dock or shoreline.
I swear, I do have a few tools on my truck too.[cool]
