Excellent intro, Scott, I look forward to another day of throwing fur and feathers on the long wand with ya'

Excellent AND crucial tips. I always launch a wade with two rods and always make sure to have the lure up to the first or second guide, experience with snags taught me to be diligent. Also, the super vital guidance to hook the lure into the pedestals of the rod guide and not through the eye. Those inserts not only can break but can also get nicked by the hook point giving them a rough spot that can nick or fray the line.
