Default Wimpy Little Rod

Ok Joe. I give. One of those puny little 5 and a half foot rods might be
a decent spinner bait rod after all. My son is expressing some interest
in fishing again after he and I spent a weekend camping at the lake.

I've got him rigged out with four rods now. I was looking at one of those
old Zebco Combo rods and thought what in the heck can I do with that thing
for him. Ah, heck. I'll put a spinner abit on it just to prove Joe
wrong. Well, I have to admit I was wrong. No this rod is not the ideal
spinner bait rod. Not enough backbone IMO, and not sensitive enough, but
the soft tip sure does the job. Its easier to cast than Ifigured and even
with that puny little Zebco 33 I can wake, slow roll, or just crank it in
just fine.

Ok, Joe, I may just have to go on the hunt for one of those wussie little
broke off rods for spinner bait fishing. You win. (I'll probably still
stick with my 7 footer most of the time though.)


Next time you head out this way I can probably show a little better action
on the river... even in the dead of winter.
