Fishing was not just an industry, it was a way of life that fed families, supported entire towns, and built a cultural identity along the shoreline

But, because of the long unsupported span (especially in the 6500 size) of the rather small diameter fixed axle, flex became a problem and spools were rubbing frames

Slowly anglers are discovering there are other noteworthy baits worth exploring

I still find myself spooling it up in situations where many other anglers use fluoro, and I dont feel that Im giving up anything except occasional aggravation

When it comes to the ease of landing a fish, the weight and manoeuvrability of a fishing net are very important

About the only fishing I have done is pond fishing for bluegills and largemouth bass
