  1. Left hand on reel seat, right hand on the bottom of the rod. Retrieve a spinning reel with my right hand. Cast over my left shoulder.
  2. Any idea what time the show starts? I didn't see it in the posting.
  3. I've ordered from them multiple times in the past and never not received my order. If you are ordering plug building supplies (weights, hooks, lips, grommets) make sure you order them well in advance of your need to use them. Ordering plug building supplies during the plug building time period will cause your order to sometimes take longer than normal to receive. I would order from them with confidence; knowing that this time of year the order could take time to fill.
  4. I will take for asking price. I will mail a check. Please PM me with info on where to send check.
  5. Do a google search on "the absorber towel." It is an imitation chamois towel that you can pick up for like $15. I get the red colored version, but other color options exist. You can cut to whatever size and shape you desire. You can leave them on full time and they work great; same action as the uncle josh. Not as durable as pork, but more size, shape options available.
  6. If you ever travel through southern CT, let me know. I would have some additional questions should that happen. If not, not a big deal.
  7. So did we ever find out if this was the Noreaster or the Kevlar Noreaster blank?
  8. Do you really need a waterproof reel for shore fluking? Maybe be money wasted.
  9. I would be curious if it was the Noreaster or the Kevlar Noreaster. According to the Century website the Kevlar noreaster has been on the market for the last 10 years and never had a breakage.
  10. Sluggo, Sluggo, Sluggo........thats really about all you need.
  11. I see the bail-less benefits as follows: - 1 less item to break or fail - No more bail closures mid cast causing lures to break off - Ease of use and simplicity when using. On a true lefty reel, the line will hit you on the left pointer finger and you can easily place it on the line roller. No need to do any sort of swinging with the line. You just cast, stick out your left pointer finger when the lure hits the water and the line hits you finger. It took me about 20 casts to get a good handle on it. After a while it is jus second nature.
  12. The Visser line has been out for a few years now and i finally ran into someone using one to fish the surf this past September. I would have expected to encounter someone using one out on Cuttyhunk or Block; but it took until this past September to see one. One of the issues that seems to be happening with the Visser line is that Rob K continues to modify the reel and tinkering with details. This happened a lot with the ZB series of reels as well. I understand the desire to strive for improvement though. Another drawback is they don't make a true left handed reel for those of us that want a bail-less option.
  13. Who was selling 1.5ounce bucktails for $15?..... correction.... who was paying $15 for a 1.5ounce bucktail. That's insane.... but ever since Andrus stopped tying with real deer hair, there are less players in the surf bucktail market
  14. I have the ODM Nex1 3-8oz rod. I fished it for 3 months after it was built (eels and plugs), put it down in September of that season and never picked it up again. The rod was rated properly. I felt the action was a little more moderate (i.e. faster) than the GSB series. I felt the rod was also too tip heavy and just not well suited to serve as my all around every day rod. I tend to throw in the 2-5 ounce range with plugs and throw larger sized eels when i can find them. I reverted back to using my GSB 132-1M rod and an older Lami (Green) Super Surf 132 rod. I saw you indicated the weight of the GSB blank was too heavy. The 132-1M blank only weighs 9 ounces. The ODM blanks cannot weigh much less than the GSB 132-1 blank. I bet my built ODM nex1 (3-8) and my GSB 132-1M built rod weight about the same.
  15. Is there a vendor list for this event? Its about a 2 hour drive for me.
