I called SeaTow for a check last Friday and got an affirmative back almost before I put the mic down ! Great outfit !

I have two of them. Been very good reels for me..

Remember buying hooks in the early 50's in little wooden tubes..they'd be worth something today. Store bought lead came in little metal cans with slide covers. also remember that my first tackle box was a snuff can.. spare line wrapped around a stick. all braided nylon or cotten..

I remember them syrup cans too.. For some reason up here the kids called em packers..guess cause they packed the dirt to some extent. also remember the brushbrooms they used to sweep those same yards.. gallberry bushes wrapped with haywire.

Take a light spinning rod and some rooster tails with you..Chattahoochee runs right through town. I've fished it and Smiths creek several times in the past couple years with fly equipment but you can catch em on spin tackle. You will need a trout stamp. Stop at Unicoi outfitters going into town and ...

What do you all use to sharpen those D Russels ? They're made of tough steel.......
