The funny thing is, we have been fishing together for a little more than 30 years, and she always wanted her rods "like she used when she was a kid". Yesterday, after that many years, she asked me "Why do you catch more fish than me?". I told her it was because my rods were more sensitive and I could cast a bit further with my reels. I also told her that with a spinning reel she wouldn't have those casting issues so much. She said "O.K., give me one.", and once she got used to casting it was on like donkey kong, lol. In about 3 casts she got that bass and was all grins the rest of the trip.
