Up until 1928 the Milam's produced reels in a wide range of sizes from the small No.1 size up to the larger tarpon size reels
(And if the bend is minor, you can bend the pole back close to straight.) Aluminum poles tend to transmit more vibration to your hands and arms, though some sufficiently dampen the vibration so you dont notice it after a few minutes of hiking
That's maybe too much detail though and easier to just switch to a Kynoch or 3 inch Tay Lure equivalent when you want to speed up the action which I always did later in the Spring
This plug floats on the water surface until the fisherman begins to reel in the lure, then it dives below the water surface in imitation of the motion of a minnow
however, we always recommend a waterproof bag liner
August 10th - 17th - 5 to 6 spots This week is an EXCELLENT silver salmon week combined with great fishing for leopard rainbows, dolly varden, arctic char, and grayling
