yeah ill be using it for some slop fishing but mainly to flip around wood so wanted the heavy 65 lb but idk i pitched with it for about 2 hours today and found that the handle just wasnt that comfortable and the tip wasnt quite soft enough to really make a 1/2 ounce jig pitch really far so i might take it back and get the 7 foot heavy action veritas and see how that works since it has an extra fast tip compared to the medium fast tip on the skeet reese and would be better for frog fishing too well here is a pic

daybreak: Always loved Labor Day weekend. Time for those jet skis and speed boats to go back in storage and make room on the lakes for us fishermen again. (:))
