Well got over the bridge and into Louisiana and saw a sign for these rest stop so said why not . Pull in and was just gonna sit in the car but saw this old timer out fishing. Noticed his rod was a bit different. Really long , whippy lil spinny reel near the bottom. Remembered being told and asked about older black people liking to use fly rods with spinning reels for general fishing. Never seen it in my area but apparently it was one of those things that's kinda ...well exclusive isn't the word but you see older black people doing it more then anyone. Well figured why not. Went out asked how the fishing was and had a little chat . Old timer was just tickled pink to have someone chat with for a second . Said a lot of folks don't know about the flu rod trick ..said works better then an crappie rod. More sensitivity and more flex. Let's you play a 10lbs catfish with 4 lbs line really easy if you know what your doing . But apparently her preferred 10lbs Told him to have a good one and self him to it and just walked around for a bit. They have a great lil walking trail over the water .lotta folks fishing Pretty happy I stopped 17 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
