It looks quite ingenious. Don't worry about Salesrep, he probably could not figure out how to use it anyway.
I use a 5' ultralight Ugly Stick with 4# fluorocarbon line for trout fishing. The rod works well and is very manageable from my kayak. A must for trout.
My prayers are with you, Steve. Hang in there brother.
I have gone trout fishing several times this year at Fall Creek Falls, Tennessee, specifically George Hole day use area. In April, 2019 I caught 21 trout. In June, 2019 I was skunked. There was also no current, white water, or water in the upper or lower sections of George Hole. I used everything in my tackle box, which is quite extensive, but never located any trout. I figured that TWRA had stocked Cane Creek once and that was it. But I just read that they restocked again, June, 2019. Where did the trout go? I fished for 6 hours, starting at 6:00am without a bite that I know of.
If you are from that part of TN or trout fish there, please let me know what is going on. I would also like to know if there is a way to find out the water level in the creek before I make the 2 hour drive from Nashville. Happy fishing.
