Re: A-Rig Rod?

I used to use a loomis umbrella rod but now I use a Cousins 755 because it works for me for other baits as well so its easier to also carry in the boat.

Just a thought on this guys, you can launch at bidwell and boat over if need be in the morning after signing up. Kind of a bother but under the circumstances its not a huge problem and will help keep things rolling. Worked pretty good for the NorCal last weekend.
