    I know most people don’t cast this way but this is going to help me a great deal. I’m missing some fingers on my right hand so I wasn’t sure how I was going to hold the line with my index finger. This alternative with the thumb is brilliant and just what I needed to learn. Thanks!!!

    Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup th-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

      Utterly ridiculous to hold the reel upside down and to have crank on right side. Dinosaurs. Put the line under the index finger against rod, pull back bail with left hand, cast, crank with left hand. Same on bait-casters, order left hand reel, grow up.
