Nice fish man. Hows that reel and the bait clicker ? I might get one for bait fishing.

Since you are building your own rods, do you still have time to salmon fish? Sup James, I havent really been building any rods lately. Been salmon fishing on the weekends to but this year is alot slower then last year. Ill try to build more in the winter time when i quit salmon fishing tho. Randy

First of all, I am by no means trying to thread jack here. I have a question to ask. I'll be fishing for king salmons in the northern part of California (sacremento and other surrounding cities).
