Re: Gar fishing???
The rod is a 15' finwick (sp?) with custom eyes, garcia mitchal 488 real, 20 lb line. That real holds enuf (enough) line to hook to the house, drive to the lake and still have line! First eye, closest to the real, the id is 1/4" larger than the spool on the real! Can be a lot of fun, anyway thats the one that has had the rope jig on it, it's my Dads' rod he had custom made for him.<br />My rod is a 14' finwick (hard to find these now) all custom made with a Penn 9500s, put this one together myself!<br /><br />I talked with a guy I work with, he said he uses yellow ski rope (about 8"). Just open it and slip it over the lead, tie it so it wont come off and brush it out, I have never seen anything but white, soft nylon used myself, but yellow could work as well!<br />Richard
