well i finally sold off some of the old equipment i was getting rid of this week. i just couldnt let that money smolder in my pocket for too long so today on my lunch break i stopped by cabelas and picked up a new lews speel spool ss1h. 10 bearings 6.4:1 ratio 28" per crank. really smooth. im gonna put line on it tonight and sit here stewing until the weather gets above freezing so i can get on the water..... then again i dont have the tank back in the boat anyway lol
