Can't knock a fish off with an axe? Damn. There goes my secret strategy. Back to the drawing board.

I strung up a couple of rods last night. I wound up going with the "Cars" themed model. Pretty techy. The drag actually makes a clicking sound instead of a sick moan and groan like the others.

Of course I should have guessed they only make these cartoon rods in right hand retrieve. Talk about adding insult to injury. I can't use a regular rod with my left hand, let alone one of these kiddie toys. Might as well just make a rule that outlaws the use of both hands while fishing while you are at it.
