Fishbait, been there and are currently practicing the same theory. It has helped ease the pain. On days when I fish holding the rod with my dominant arm I like to use an elastic band around my forearm just below the elbow designed to ease the tendinitis with great results! Your advice to the young bucks will probably go unheeded because of the invincible factor present in all of us during that stage of life which is understandable. Time will show itself in one way or another.

FJ..out.
