Hope you don't find one of Forks famous stumps....! The guy that makes them is a good friend of mine and I still haven't got brave enough to buy one.Hope yours works out good.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

So it begins, get a good lure retriever or be ready to swim for it. I have a few pretty expensive Deps that I've jumped in to get a bunch but dang they catch fish!

The owner/creator has hopped on here before and advised to use 20-25# mono, you need the stretch in order to prevent a 'cast-off'. I posted about one a while back, will try to find the thread.
