Slab, you know what I fish with, but I would draw the line on a Barbie pole. Maybe a snoopy pole but never a Barbie pole. I had Chuck using any of my rods that he cared to pick up, and I brought six. Most had 2lb line and we were both talking and not paying attention so we got hung on some bottom trash and broke off a few times. All said and done, a good visit for us both. I’m glad that I didn’t plan it for the afternoon cuz things got rough for me later in the day. All better today, thank God, just 3 more To go.
