Well that is interesting because the story has always been that they don't perform well in low light conditions. But I guess I've never really tried.
Just get one of each.
Well now I want a kitchen torch!
I always coat them in honey, Bad Byron's Butt Rub, another layer of honey and then pack on the brown sugar. But I don't know how that would work cooking with a torch.
You know as much as I'm not a "house brand" guy, those are some really good reels. One of the Davis brothers talked my Dad into buying some and I was really surprised when I fished one. I'll probably never own any other than the ones he left but still really good reels.
I don't know much about Martin but I did fish a Mexico lake right after he left with his crew and all those people around the lake hated him. And they were really friendly people.
The team at Lew's has first hand knowledge of how BPS Purchasing operates. I think that gives them a huge advantage. Especially since BPS is probably begging them to carry the reels. How is the "best" tackle store in the country not going to carry Lew's. Sometimes your forceful strategy works ad sometimes you have to kiss a little butt. I can't see how this can be anything but good for the guys at Lew's.
And screw Daiwa. That's just junk. I was a big fan until about 20 years ago when I pulled everyone of them off my rods and hurled them with force into Pomme de Terre lake. How do you design a reel that so easily cuts your line anyway?
License and trout stamp are all you need.
Zone 3 is closed during C&R.
You can fish below zone 3 and sometimes it's good and sometimes not.
A Griffiths Gnat can be a lot of fun in the park.
