Mike,



[lots of helpful advice snipped]


Good luck!
John

PS: In 58 years I've NEVER caught a crappie on a fly rod. Perhaps others
can help.


Ah Hell, Mike. Its obvious to everyone that this reel is only gonna continue
to confuse and confound you and everyone in your immediate vacinity. Let me
put ROFF's best foot forward and offer to help you with this
ever-more-tenuous circumstance. Just take the cursed reel, package it
carefully, and send it to Uncle Danl's Museum of Hardy, PO Box 69, Valley
Center, CA, 92082. As soon as the curator, a gentleman and scholar if ever
there was one, has completed a season or two of authentification of said
reel upon the appropriate waters, a tasteful plaque denoting yourownself as
the contibutor will be prominently attached to the display within the halls
of the museum. Oh, and please enclose some token monetary gift, if you don't
mind, to help in funding the authentification process.

Best regards,
Uncle Danl
Curator

I'll be sure to get right on that! Will the reel need to be
authenticated in your local vicinity or must my monetary contribution
be large enough to cover some time spent in exotic locales?

Since I can't get spools very easily, what do you guys think of that
line that you can change tips? It seems like it would work great for
this situation - if it's worth a damn performance wise. Just curious
if it's one of those things made to catch fisherman, and not fish.

Thanks for all of the info!

The curator will, of course, be happy with whatever largess you should deem
appropriate.

Mike, get a rod to go with your reel and go have some fun. Personally, I
would advise you to look at the lower end of the range of weights that your
Hardy will support. Think about a 6 or even 5 wt for the types of fishing
you are describing. Don't get too caught up in the minutia just yet. Go have
some fun.
