I just read the article about this way to rig for bass fishing in Minnesota Sportsman. For the life of me I can't see how it would be any better than the "slip bobber" we have been using for years. In fact with a slip bobber, you don't need a long rod and it is easier to set the hook with a slip bobber than a fixed bobber which the "float & fly is. So what's the fuss about?
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
