One of my secret weapons is an ultralight Shimano reel on a light rod with a weenie worm, and a 1/16 ounce bullet sinker on fireline that is strong but thin. When everything is asleep, this will sometimes wake something, and something big on occasion. I keep one of these in the trucks nearly all the time just in case I see a wet spot that isn't too carefuly guarded . . .
However, the screw that holds the handle in place (big knurled plstic end on a teeny screw maybe a half inch long) has vibrated out and escaped or hidden so well I can't find it.
This particular reel is old, but very functional. Where is the best source of parts for these? I have others, but would like to put this one back together.
Friends have kidded me forever about my wussy tackle. One stopped when nothing was biting and I caught a seven plus bass and got it out of a mossy pond in front of him. I do love light tackle. CB
