If I recall the verbal beating I took last year when Cookie's swivel separated from , what she describes as a "record class" - likely, cat (not), I think her direct orders, given in that tone only your bride of 30+ years can muster, were to make sure she has the right gear for the contest this year - or else! (Craig I tried to use most types of punctuation in that sentence just for you. Not correctly, just used them)<br />
<br />
It appears she had fun shopping on the whisker seeker webpage. Its about to get real. I might need one of you strong bucks to haul it to the water for me, though.<br />
<br />
Now where to do the first test run. Maybe break it in on some carp<br />

Having seen what various people use for cat fishing I have come to the conclusion that the rod is one of the less imortant parts of the gear. It seems that using heavy line is the most important. Ice_sled uses 30# mono with a 50# leader, and he should know something about landing the big ones. And I have seen several of the better guys use medium and medium-heavy UglyStiks so my big heavy rods look like overkill now. But as the man said about overkill with large, hot calibers for big-game hunting, you can't really make an animal over-dead. So use the big rods if it makes you happy. I feel just fine knowing that my big rigs will handle the biggest, fiestiest cats out there. So what if my rod doesn't wiggle as much as the next guy's? I'm not going for a line-class record.<br />
As to the punctuation: I'm going to take the Fifth.<br />

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
