The other three lines on floats, had not been touched or even looked at, at all. I like keeping three to four lines in the water all the time, make the most of your offshore fishing time. Before pulling one line in to check, I replace it with another. WHAM, I'll be damn if I know, down it goes. Lucky rods maybe, I don't think so.
Rod is a rod, reel is a reel, hook the same, every thing the same except the line and color.
I think we all do, at one time or another. The only difference between all the rods is the line, color, light green, ultra green seems to blend in with the water color, greenish water color, the line, has to be 80 lb. test. If you have some time, look here, It's a excellent faq , of info, on line, reels. Leave these poles in the boat, not fish them, yea, we would catch tuna, but believe you me, not like, when we used these two rods. Anyways, we get out to the fleet, and there is a nice little pocket open between a charter boat, from Conn. and a smaller rig.
