An Expensive Day Fishing UPDATE

[flipin4bass]

As some of you know I lost my Calcutta/Powell combo last week in the lake. Well, I went back to that location this morning and dragged the bottom again and was able to hook the rod! The cork on the Powell looks to be a little water logged, but the reel appears to be ok. Took the reel apart this afternoon and found that very little water had gotten in. Dried it out and lube it with the oil that came in the box, slapped it together and works like a charm. Man, am I glad I got that reel back!

That's some good luck right there!

I bet you'll have a stronger grip on all your rods now.  ;D

Now that is some great news.

Congrats on finding it without getting into the water.

Have you purchased a lottery ticket lately????  ;D   ;D

yesterday I was casting with the wind, launching a big crank a mile.

I then said 'watch this world record cast' and proceded to launch my calcutta 250 into the drink. We fished for it for about an hour but it was in about 20 fow
