It would work on big water with more current as far as that goes but if your not into it for a float reel right away a spinning reel would do a better job ,all pending on who you talk too. It boils down to personal preference..

Ah yes,they can be very clever but this could be to there disadvantage...Time to leave out a special can of gas for them to use up next time

Racking wine and beer sounds like the plan...Maybe tie a couple fly's,who knows..

Bill, Just in case you decide to do this yourself and you need the schematics..... http://www.reelschematic.com/schematics/shimano.php

I would go with the stocking foot with the separate boots. This way you can get a top quality boot or waders and replace one or the other when needed. Many brands out there but price usually dictates quality but once again many may disagree. 8lb Suffix is good line and stay away from the colored lines but not because they are gay but because you don't need to see the main line when running a float like mentioned above.Oh ya,stay away from using braided main line ,personal preference of mine. Your backing can be a dacron. Just keep in mind that it is a filler and will never be used in battle unless of course you don't have enough main line on your reel for some reason or another... Good Luck !!

Yup,lovem...Was the first spoon my dad ever tied on to my pole when I was a youngster. He used to buy the knock offs at Whoolco and give them to me to go use in behind East Park Golf Gardens. I used them always and caught big pike and smallies out of that spot on a regular basis...The odd carp as well would latch on to them. To this day I still have red devels in my arsenal except the real ones of course...
