TROPHY Chesapeake Stripers #1 ,2007 Team Old School

i also like to reel with my left, and i went fishing on a charter out of boston and we boated alot of fish in the twenties, but it was ackward for me when fighting the fish

Where in the bay is it??

Lower Bay near the CBBT

what rod is that guys?
one criticism, is that I think left hand multiplier retrieve is more natural.

with right -hand retrieve you are generally
using you weaker left arm to do the heavy work, pumping fish,and your stronger
arm to wind in!?????????????
Why change from fixed-spool principles,
where 95%plus fisherman retrieve
left hand?????????????????????????
guy kept on saying "heart-attack" in
video-is this what you will get continuing
this unnatural right hand retrieve?

I kinda understand what you are saying. Without a doubt, plenty of fisherman like to use spinning reels, ( I assume that's what you are referring too). But I think you are a bit off base when you tell me what hand of MINE is stronger. Maybe the "Heart attack" quote passed you by. We were goofing around and quoting JAWS. Sorry. We were NOT about to have Heart attacks. The rods were quite soft, we used 30lb Mono. A stiff rod and heavy line will bring em in faster, but with LESS Strikes. contin

Most 50lb class Bass fisherman do not use a spinning reel because you are adding 2- 90 degree angles. One where the drive gear meets the pinion, and one where your line raps around the roller on the bail. A conventional reel removes both. Just a straight line to the fish. Accurate makes left handed models, but I choose the right handed. If you like left retrieve spinning reels, than go for it. Post a cool video, and I'll check it out. Also, the soft rod keeps the fish from spitting the bait MS

Also, I am a bit out of shape so don't tease me, I am sensitive. I'm just kidding, speak your mind! These rods were Penn power sticks, but the new Accurate Xnergy are the BEST, and the are not too expensive. That's all I use now.

Thanks!
