My teenage sons have accused me of losing my touch on the Spin rod..

Pffft!!
How can you loose your touch when you’ve got one of these Phillipson Masters G’s
7ft Model G-MS701L (L=Light)

Mint/New Old Stock , Never seen the water ..


Preparing a special Neds Rig/Finesse box just for this little light line scotch ply Master .


My boys aren’t gonna know what hit em when “old” dad breaks this out on prespawn Bass!
Paired up a classic 80s Daiwa RG w/fastcast. Spooled it with Trilene 6lb test

If you can’t Finesse em with this set up ?
They CAN’T be finessed….


I know most hate fast cast but I’m a kid from the 80s and fast cast was hot stuff back then for a minute ,
Plus
I can steer the canoe and still cast . Or hang by tree limbs to make one handed casts from the bank.


Rod has a sliding “no-rock” reel seat, so if it is true I’ve lost my spinning touch …
I’ll just dismount the spinning reel slide it down into fly position ..
and robert’s your fathers brother..

Btw - It throws a nice 6wt once you get used to those heavy spinning guides.

Come on spring!!!!!!!!!

we have to solve that Mint Old Stock Never Seen the Water thing.


1/4 oz max lure weight on a 7' spinning rod - that's definitely finesse.

Scotchply and Epoxites are labeled thru the Oz



Odanata

Daiwa scraped me off when they wouldn't support the nickeled-brass worm gear I needed (from surf sand) on my Millionaire 6H in 1985.
The then-expensive reel was 7 years old. I went to Lew's (440 stainless worm gear) and Penn, and didn't look back - until just this decade when I bought my next Daiwa.
