No.7 Rapala

It's a President. Well then, I guess at some point I'll have to get use to it.

Grew up in Indiana fishing rivers for smallmouth bass and saugers. After college I moved around a lot for my job in IT. Spent some time in Virginia, Illinois, back to Indiana, then to Tennessee for about a year (loved Dale Hollow) and finished in South Carolina. I retired 2 years ago and have mostly being catching up on house maintenance. Going back to Indiana later this summer and plan to try and do some wade fishing in my old stomping grounds in Logansport, Indiana. I haven't been back there in over 20 years. On another note, does anyone know why my profile pic is so blurry? I used the trick where you right click on it to send it to email in order to resize it. It looks fine on other forums, just not here for some reason. I think it said it was 140k when I uploaded it. Good to meet you all! Bill

New Member. I ran across this forum doing a search for this topic. I went to buy a new spinning reel for a light action rod for a wade fishing trip coming up and was surprised that most do not have an anti-reverse switch. I grew up using my spinning reels with the anti-reverse off until I put the lure on the hook keeper to put the rod away. I can't say that I back reel a ton, but it sure has come in handy over the years. Good news is that Pfluegers still have anti-reverse (what I bought), bad news is that my primary spinning reel arsenal is Shimano. At my age, I could just make do with what I have and not buy any more spinning reels.
