Probably a good job I did bottle it. So far I’ve not felt tempted to try traditional tackle for my bass fishing. When I cover 2-3 miles of coast, casting and retrieving a lure every 10 yards or so in a 4-6 hour session, lightness really does matter!

I'm stretching my memory here but that's a light beachcaster for bait work isn't it? Even back in the 70s and 80s, I always preferred lighter spinning and plugging techniques for my bass fishing. The one area of lure fishing I do enjoy going traditional for is for Perch and Jacks, with a very light Milwards spinning rod and a Mitchell CAP. That set-up works as well as it ever did with Mepps and is ok for Drop Shotting and light jigs.
