My son-in-laws dad was by a couple of days ago, and of course fishing was the topic. He mentioned this rig...and I had never thought about it before, sounds fun!
After he left, I got to looking...and can't find my fly fishing rig, or ultra light rig! I think I loaned them both out, long gone now.[:(]
the rig
A flyrod with a closed face reel, I guess a medium size Zeb reel would work fine. Wow, an 8' limberd**k flyrod would be great fun on crappie and some of them big 'ol perch! I'm sure it would be great to get some real distance on those 1/16 & 1/8 oz little spinners too.
He used it to reach into brush to access crappie, and perch, sounds like a good weapon for that!
I'm "young" enough to remember all the bait, and gas stations by any lake had l-o-n-g cane poles for that; matter of fact I have 2-3 in the shed that were my dads.
It's been YEARS since Ive seen cars going down the road with cane poles tied on top, or hanging 5' out of car windows...[:D]
...Dang, guess I need to go get another flyrod, and ultra light rig.
Shoot, think I will find a medium size closed faced reel for the flyrod...matter of fact, think I'll get a flyrod alone and forget the fly reel...and just use a closed face like I mentioned.
The only time I used the flyrig was at the ranch lake anyway.
THAT way,...no one saw me trying using it...sure I look like
someone with advanced Parkinsons...being electrocuted...[:D]
Tried two different trips to Colorado to use it(flyrod/reel)
and after an hour of having the 20' of line and leader wrap around me...I went to my ultra light...[;)]
