Cabin-fever season is starting already. I haven't been fishing or
posting much, but I just received the new Bass Pro catalog. Have you
guys noticed the new Calcutta TE with computerized backlash control????

Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Merry Christmas

Yes and I've actually had a chance to play with one. I was in Las Vegas at the ICAST Show when
Shimano trotted this bad boy out. It's amazing how far you could cast with a very lightweight lure,
however, the computer onboard is no guarantee that you'll never get another backlash.

While it does work very well, there was one guy from South Africa that threw a backlash of epic
proportions.
