I've been a wuss.  No fishing for me in a while.   But I've been training for a snow mountain climbing trip.  Going to do MT Satsa in the snow.   Already did MT Whitney ( highly peak in the lower 48).  But trying to train for snow stuff.  We'll see. How i do.   I'll keep some pics coming.

I am getting ready to climb some mountains in Colorado in a 2016 Ford Explorer and I am dreading that, you are nuts. My training is sipping JD and repeating over and over that I have to go to Colorado to install new GPS equipment in the cold when they did California in August.........

Just a quick update, I have been using this reel every time out to some degree. It is still running the 24lb braid line and I have pulled flicker shad on it, used spoons and thrown ned rigs all by changing leaders. I have tried to abuse it, have not cleaned it and it still cast better then any of the spinning reels I paid $70 for, still as smooth as the day I took it out of the box.
