What's Wrong With This Pic!

Wow... Idk some folks make honest mistakes..

But that's bound to suck trying to cast... Right?

 

 

I'm positive he'll be on TW tomorrow bashing X reel because "The darn thing just won't cast worth a lick!"

When I broke and shortened my #5 fly rod it was useless. Then I installed a UL spinning reel and it's a crappie setup now. I use a rattle bobber with a 1" mister twister chartreuse grub.

I got a GLX flipping stick I still use today from a friend who used it on a spinning rod... He cut the trigger off and I had to have the seat and back cork replaced but it worked great for him he said.

It was a heavier rod so he used it for Muskie fishing. I bought him a spinning rod to fit his needs and we made a "even" trade.

Honestly, that probably happens a lot more than you think.

Iv seen people using spinning reels with the reel facing up like a caster. Can't be comfortable.

I was flats fishing in Cuba saltwater doing that and being stupid, and a great big Barracuda whacked my bait and nearly took the rod. I lost him though...

I see it ALL. I beat the banks most of the time, hitting up some well populated areas. The funny stuff I see people do Include but are not limited to:

 

Using spinning rods upside down

Using Thumb-cast style reels on spinning rods, or spinning reels on trigger rods

Using large snap-swivels or steel leaders to attach their hook while bobber fishing for small blue gill

Using a much too large a hook for the same small bluegill

Bobbers rigged incorrectly/upside down

My favorite is fisherman standing in one exact spot casting to the same exact spot 50 times with a gaudy chartreuse spinnerbait in gin clear water

 

Also saw a guy fishing a buzzbait under the water (1+foot depth)the other day.

We call them 'tourons' around here. Combination of tourist and moron.
