JapanRon: Memories! Okinawa 1953 trying to locate hooks with eyes was impossible. All hooks were flanged where the eye was supposed to be. You learned to snell or you didn't fish.I think I have told this story before on the boards but bear with me. It was impossible to find a reel or even a rod to fish with. My wife sent me a rod and reel and I was the local hit of Tengan village. Those natives had never seen any thing like a Mitchell Spinning reel and a spinning rod.It was stolen one week after I got it darn-it.
