AlphaHawk and I seem to have kindred spirits. My brother and I like the challenge of “swimming the jig” aka, ”cast and retrieve”. Even though we know we can catch more with a float or jigging. I also fish barbless hooks. It’s the challenge that turns us on. LOL
AlphaHawk -
I subscribed to your YouTube channel.
I enjoy fishing with fine equipment, also. Enjoyed your Daiwa reel reviews and took a look at the 21 LUVIAS AIRITY LT. I own 3 Shimano Stella. And the joy of using them is worth the price of admission, if you have the extra money.
