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.
