Went camping at Perris this weekend. We hooked our nylon box-kite to my swimbait rod with the a 400 calcutta te and about 150 yards of 20# big game. What a blast!!! When the wind died down once, I had all 150 yards out. By cranking as fast as I could I kept it off of the ground, saving myself from picking 150 yards of line from foxtails and stinging nettles. When the wind picked up again, I just raised it at the end of the rod. I hit the thumb-bar and was spooled again in two minutes.
Lots of honking and thumbs-up from people leaving when they saw what we were doing. I had it spooled and pulling hard for about 20 minutes. Great way to get rid of line memory. Too bad that it was the only tight line I had that day. NoTrollMotor
