I do adjust the length of my skirt to not cover up the moving parts of the trailer. LIKE the TFF on Facebook - www.facebook.com/texasfishingforum You want to make a difference in life?

Can i get a few whites like in the pic?

LOL I am left handed and right hand reels work perfect for me. I cast left handed and start cranking. Reeling a left handed reel is just too weird for me. I also crank a spinning reel with my right hand, that is when I use a spinning set up which is very rare.
