Default Fishing Tips for ....
young and old farts too!

Due to my arthritis in my wrists, I use a weight kit that fits on the butt on the rod that balances my rod and reel.... really makes a BIG difference when casting alot.... just wanted to pass this on... any other tips that you do to make your fishing trip a little easier and/or better...... pass it on

I knew he moved. The last few times I went there to get some rods worked on he was closed. So I gave up on going there.
