[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 4034949, member: 46875"] Sounds awesome, the bigs stuff like that are beautifully made for sure. I have caught a few small sharks before, leopard, sand and one thresher. I fished with the 80-120 heavy stuff like that when I was younger until a blue marlin in Cabo broke me of ever wanting to try on the big stuff ever again. About 2 hrs into it dripping wet from sweat in the Hot Baja sun and arms so tired they felt like noodles i almost just wanted to cut the line and get unhitched from the damn thing. It was along about that point I realized that for me fishing was supposed to be fun and this quit being so and became more a battle of wills and hard work. I finally landed it, 320lb 11' 2" and promptly retired from bill, tuna or shark fishing. I have no desire to ever again fight a fish that outweighs me or have an International in my hands.. The first yellow one was my first attempt at a diamond. If you look close the last two brown threads are pulled away from the others and slipped. I should have cut them off before I expoxied. It's just an old solid glass Shakespeare bottle blank from the 70s I wanted to put an old skool Zepco 33 on so it will be ok.. Just practicing. I have an old Heddon Pal Mark IV 6' with wood inserts in the handle I want to do next but I will have to tighten my butt up for that one as it is one rare bird and all class. Plus, I need some more thread colors. [/QUOTE]
