Title: Picked up a new rod and reel
Post by: TheHunt on September 27, 2010, 09:31:05 PM: I picked up a 15 foot center pin St. Croix and a Shamano 3000. I can now throw a wad of eggs 70 yards. Now I have to try it...

I have spent hours down on the Cowlitz trying to figure it out. It is just a matter of time before I actually learn enough to catch one of those darn things.
