Don't let Loomis fool you.. I have video evidence this kid tries to pin.

...my slitting technique is a little rusty.  I'm usually too busy shaking my head at fish coming in backwards from SS lining.

Ahhhh some rebuttal, okay okay haha....

It's story time kids, and the story of my pinning career.....

Since I was sick of catching so many steel the right way I gave it up to my friend because they felt bad for my arm being so sore.  Since they weren't catching any on the pin due to the low and clear water I had to show them how it was done....Three stupidly placed amateur casts (if u can call it that) yielded a hookup for me, They took notes but still didn't catch anything.....Straining my educated mind as to why anyone would use such a tool in Erie,  I took my fly rod back while my counterparts wondered why they had these contraptions when the water barley wetted their ankles and they could utilize the long jump in gym class to negotiate any stream crossings.  On the ride home they talked wondrous tales of fly rods and numerous hookups for the next outing...


And strangely I recall an incident involving a centerpin, a power worm and a large rainbow....

That will be the next story, if there is a need for it again....






(dude, come on, U cant win!)


I do like to build float rods, just not use 'dem.

lol

I've seen more fish foul hooked from fly rods then pins... very nice Loomis. I'll get you back
