I've heard about the west coast guy's doing this when their on one of
the long range boats. But, to me, their is no way in hell I'm going to
throw a thousand dollars worth of rod and reel over the side hooked up
to another rod. I suspect anyone who has done this only to never see
their rod and reel again is more than a little hesitant about doing it
again. I know people do it all the time, and get away with it, but not
me, no way.

I know some third coast guys that USED to do that. They lost a rig, so
they
don't do it anymore. Good thing it was only a Senator 4/0 combo that they
lost.

They have a lot more than $1000 of gear in the water. Custom Rod, and
blueprinted reels. And they may have 2 rigs in the water.

A blueprinted reel! Has someone got you suckered. This sounds like a
West coast thing. I've never heard of this on the East coast. Our
reels work just fine right out of the box.
