Welcome aboard pinner. A float fishing guy nearby (I'm in Georgetown just north of you) maybe we can fish the upper credit, I'm a spin fisher but open to new methods.

I can't wait for the bows to start running the creeks! Then FF can get a new picture to post everytime someone mentions float fishing!

Hey Skeinmachine yup thats one of Adams, got it last March just a awesome reel.

I'm looking at the float reel it is taped to the cork, is that normal?

Hey fishforfun sometimes the rings come loose, some guys tape them to keep them tight. I use shrink tube much more trick LOL never come loose that way and doesnt go sticky like tape does after awhile if it gets wet. I would have had a reel seat put on the rod when i had it tied for me, its a 13' St.croix avid but i couldnt decide at the time where it felt most comfortable, so i went with rings.

Fishforfun any time ya wanna get togther for some river fishin let me know, I do have a extra float setup if ya care to try the darkside LOL

Here's another example fff(Drift Water reel seat),on a 14 ft Sage.

Fighting fish on a center pin reel is fun,no drag(like a mooching reel),just you and the fish,palming the spool with your hand/finger's is the drag.

Combined with a long rod & light line,a whole lotta fun.

Welcome Pinner!

I'm sure you'll find a few float fishers...

Markus... That was funny and I had the same thoughts.

I guess the Chrome season ended a while back for Floatfishing so no new pics but he does love his chromes. Hopefully we can get a flotilla going out to some creeks.
