[QUOTE="stillinscrubs, post: 1347074, member: 4420"] Yeah I think you miss the point. Carbon fiber drags are great for fish that can pull off a ton of drag quickly and not just tire themselves out by runnning around, it is not the size of the fish but its power. Even inshore snook don't have the power needed for high end drags.....they are nice when turning them away from structure but not needed. Ask the Cubans who catch them with coffee cans and some string. The carbon fiber drags don't have the same thermal breakdown issues as other drags and can be replaced easily and cheaply when they do eventually breakdown as when used for larger pelagics. No freshwater fish have that, maybe 10 foot sturgeon on the Columbia.....but I haven't fished for them. I know what you were referring to Corey, stripes don't fight worth a turd in freshwater. Better in salt, but not by much....bluefish of the same size are much better. Try a party boat in New Jersey for that....in the fall good stuff. As for offshore fishing being easy. If you hire a guide and they hook the fish and you hold it up for a picture, or they bait the hook and you hold it up for a picture. Could be said that isn't really fishing but reeling. Same for in freshwater.....catfish come to mind. Go out on a party boat out of south florida or better the Keys in winter and see if skill is not involved. After you get owned a few times you'll change your tune. Try the [u][b]Yankee Captains[/b][/u] out of Key West, I highly encourage you to try this...it will be humbling for you. Look at the website to see what I mean or search on floridasportsman for threads about the trips. Get on the boat and spout off you line of BS before you even start fishing. At least you'll get a few laughs. Heck just show up with your snook rod and reel.....that should catch anything..... Here is the link, don't want to make you work too hard. [url=http://www.yankeecapts.com/]http://www.yankeecapts.com/[/url] Go to the links section and click on reports on the right...... Ignorance is bliss......
