Killed it? No, got skunked. Fished 2.5 hrs from midnight on. Had a bunch of bites, but they were very soft. No aggression for the most part. I did dump 2, just couldn't sink the hook. Next time maybe. Sunday is a possibility, but we'll have to see. Give me a call sun. afternoon.

The rod I was working on was this IGSC 1088. It's 9'3", made by Pacbay for Seeker (discontinued a couple years ago). I'm wrapping this one to be my go to rod when fishing boilers, kelp, or any other time when I need quick hard pulling power. It's straight graphite, and has a nice smooth bend w/ lot's and lot's of backbone. Green w/ light blue spirals, fuji hardloys, corktape butt, Fuji reel seat w/ trigger, and hypalon foregrip. All that's left to be done is the Flexcoat, but that'll happen when I finish the one I started today. Graftec 80XL, same components as the 1088, but the thread is purple w/ green spirals.

Talk to you soon,
