Practice is exactly what I need. Tonight I went out. was fishing with clams and bunker. I rigged one of my rods with a bucktail but I wasn't quite set up. I should have used my 9 foot rod but it was rigged with bait and in the water, so I used my 11' rod but ...well just not right. I did manage one 34 -1/2" striper though. Released to fight another day.Click image for larger version.  Name: 20130522_183943.jpg  Views: 5  Size: 83.7 KB  ID: 17043Click image for larger version.  Name: 20130522_183935.jpg  Views: 4  Size: 84.3 KB  ID: 17044
