what benefit would the Optimum have to YOU that other models won't?

If what suggested above doesn't work, and you have two of the same riggers, swap the spools and see what happens.  If the same issue occurs on the other rigger, wire issue.  Much cheaper and easier fix than a board.

And if you are doubling through a bead, no need for a toothpick.

Need to get a bunch more footage this year!

some people use crimps, some use beads.  I'm a fan of beads.  Double the line through the bead, slide the small fly on, repeat for as many flies as you want.  This will also allow you to adjust the distance between flies if you want.  I use 50lb ANDE fkouro.

A Penn 330 will fit 300' 45# copper with 300yds 30# braid backer great.  This weekend, I squeezed in 200yds 40# braid backer and 350' 45# copper on Penn 330.  It's tight, but doable.

Fill the mask with munchies!

Pure genius.  That leaves two free hands!

then why the 6ft rule?  why not wear the masks anytime you are around people?  False security.

I guess the concern is that some folks are contagious and feel fine. Why stay home if you think you are fine A face cover will decrease the distance a breath, sneeze cough or whatever will travel by velocity reduction. Yes not protecting the individual but keeping the unknown carrier from spreading as far. Whatever anyones thought is....if putting something over my face loosens things up, ok fine. I dont like looking at most of the ugly folks in this world anyway and im no gem either

Even before covid there were (and still are) a bunch of no sneeze covering no hand washing dirty bastards out there. At least thats a lite better these days.

Totally agree with this, but I think people are being sent the wrong message and that's what I have a problem with.  If the only way I can be on a boat and fish is with something over my mouth, count me it.  It'll definitely slow my ass from eating all the munchies on board

Since you clearly have expertise in epidimiology could you inform the rest of us how we are supposed to know if we are contagious.  I'm just a fisherman and here I thought the problem was asymptomatic transmission.  

Where did I say I was an expert?  But if you contracted covid and are asymptomatic, what would compel you to get tested for it?

I hear u on H1N1 there are major differences between that and Covid. Swine flu was an influenza. There was some immunity to the swine flu. Covid is not an influenza , we have no immunity to this virus This one has killed 146000 people ( at least ) worldwide in a few weeks. Swine flu killed 171000 worldwide in a year. You do the math I’m no expert , but I’m going to follow the guidelines of the people who are experts

We had no immunity to H1N1 either, which is why it infected nearly 25% of the world's population.  I don't remember being under quarantine for that pandemic.  Do you?  Unfortunately, we may never know the ACTUAL mortality rate since we can be infected without any symptoms.  Currently, we are still under 2.3 million reported cases worldwide, but we all know the number is quite a bit higher, due to the previous statement.

You must have forgotten about H1N1

I'm going to write on my 'mask', 'All your masks don't work'  lol

I can understand that, but the mask is irrelevant unless contagious.  If you're contagious, you shouldn't be out.

I will add something on masks, as it just popped up - they're not for you, they're to keep you from infecting other people - and they are effective for that. Do not think that wearing a mask makes you safe. It's about trying to protect each other. Wearing masks was not warranted until we had widespread community transmission. Check. It actually does make sense. Remember - fluid situation, emerging guidance.

 

And even the experts can whiff. Being wrong once doesn't make you wrong always lol. Otherwise, I'd be in lots of trouble...

The ONLY way it prevents infection is if they are infected, contagious, AND it's an N95 mask.  Any lesser mask won't stop the virus.  It doesn't protect anyone from getting it.

we use a lot of the same lures the first and last hour, so when we come back, we leave things rigged, except for the dipsys, which we throw in a bucket or cooler if there's meat.  Throw them in the rocket launchers so hooks are out or the way, or put the hooks halfway down the rod when in rod holders on the gunnels.  When not tourney time, I don't care who sees what, I'll give info to anyone who wants it.

Remember when the gov't said that wearing masks didn't help from contracting the virus.  Now it does?  Make sense.....

Tohatsu manufactures Mercury.  Seems like a good buy depending on year/condition.

how much copper?

I h ave a bunch of these rod holders.  They're solid and work great.
