Good 'ol Art ... sounds kinda morbid, but it's gonna be a great run to see who lasts the longest, him or his reel

All in good fun!

I think I may have to tempt him on his spring dates this year, think I'll spool her up and put it on my rod. Can't say that I'm gonna take out the hacksaw to my new Sage's reel seat though like I watched him do on the Zipperlip a few years back when he showed up with a new 1143 and he didn't like the reel seat trigger in the way of holding that goofy reel!

He's caught more 20 lb. fish on that thing though than most will on their entire collection of std. reels in a lifetime!
