Well, I had to do it….
The Scientific Angler reel I had just wasn’t doing it for me. The drag on it was just that…a real drag. To the point where it basically didn’t do anything.

I didn’t go totally crazy at least (much to the relief of the wife). The reel I bought is an Okuma Sierra. Pretty much entry level for the Okuma line, but seems to me that the construction is much better, and has a nice feel to the drag system. It’s also not a large arbor reel like my old one. That might take a little getting used to, but shouldn’t be a big deal.

Tomorrow I’ll see how it is…when a couple buddies and I head out to Emerald Lake for the day. Will also be interesting to see how the new line I picked up works…its a Type IV full sink line. I’m hoping it casts better than my older type III sink line.

A new site launched last week by the looks of things. I had thought it wasn’t to be launched til July 1st, hence my visit there today

Some great articles guys, just watch those typos . Found them scattered all over the place.

Also, I think that it would be nice to include a few more links within some of the articles…like the Float Tube article, just as an example. References abound to various companies that likely have web sites, so why not link to them? The links won’t hurt the Google standings either.

All in all though, an excellent site!
