At home I am pretty lax about ESD, and AVR's seem to be pretty robust in general (heck I sent a half inch spark to my arduino 3 years ago and its still working "fine")
Its my feeling that they got spanked so hard a decade ago that they learned a most important lesson, they listen
I made assumptions based on multiple years of personal experience given I knew the area very but well miscalculated on water availability
Then, to seal the deal, Penn armed this combo with 5+1 bearings
It allows you to control the lines tension, preventing it from snapping when youre fighting a fish
So, but I, I dont know, I kind of like to leave those fish alone during, during that time just to like give them a little bit of a break because were, well pound on them all all summer and fall
