I was just teasing, Dave... had to get it in and did.

When I was at Neah Bay we had silvers boiling on the surface. You can bet the next time I'm there I'll have one of my rods with me and some clousers. I see..... my 7 wt rod and some 9 wt lines.

I bought a Rapala for bobber and jig fishing this year. They'd be a nice combo rod. A bit long as I got the 10 1/2' model, but certainly capable of one for the downrigger.
