Jay, What ARE you fishing for? And can I come?
Ray, yeah, they certainly are not MY rods and reels, my next door neighbor/ former boss. He turned his 45 Hatterass into a cruising machine and moved it to the Chessy, so there isnt a whole lot of need for 80s. Honestly, if you are going to bother tournmaent fishing in several tournys a year and enter all the calcuttas, you might as well spend the money and get the tools to land that fish in the boat quickly.
