L.J. 6/4 Lost Rod
It sucks to loose gear. I've got a rusting Bass rod and reel just off the launch at Tidelands from 5 years ago. The cause was earling morning fumble fingers, I still can see it sinking out of reach.
Glad to hear you were at least getting lots of action. Thanks for reporting the thrill of victory and the agony... |

Great job on the fish!
Condolences about losing the rod & reel...Toriums are pretty sweet. I know how you feel...I lost my favorite medium duty Fenwick Salt Stick and Okuma reel a couple of months ago. At least it got me keeping my stuff a little more secure. ops: Gotta look at it as a good excuse to upgrade and buy new tackle! |

Tylerburden, you got me motivated to leave the area even though i was having so much fun letting the bass shred my plastics. I don't usually fish the calico's but it was a lot of fun on the light rod. Some beautiful fish came up, some with almost orange hues. As far as the rod goes i'm still not certain exactly what transpired but i was being flipped and would have lost a lot more if that happened. A buddy of mine keeps his tethered while fishing, and maybe that is the answer but did not like the idea of being attached and results in this scenario might have been worse if i was. I find solace in realizing all the $'s i am saving in fuel etc. The old jigmaster may come out for a trip or two.

Lost Rod
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. My experience a few weeks ago might mitigate the pain. I hadn't been out in awhile and I flipped in front of the condo, losing 3 rods and 3 daiwa reels. The good news is that after buying new gear, I caught my first WSB (50lbs.) the next week. I hope you have the same good fortune.
