Lost custom rod....

Hey guys,

Had a thresher (i think) pull my rod, reel, and rod holder right off my yak.

I was in the YT grounds, or kelp forest just off LJ...


Lost a custom wrapped cal star 700m with custom weaved handle and 2 speed avet mxl....


I have heard of crazier things happening then finding gear out there, so if anyone comes across this, please let me know!!!!


Thanks, Aaron

Freespool and the clicker are your friends, lever drags are good for trolling and soaking
