Default Rod Whisper\'er ( sensitivity test..)

I was amused at a technique used to check the sensitive of your rod(fishing pole). While holding on to the handle, gently press the tip against the throat of someone else. Have them say something; you will be able to feel the vibration thru the rod. GLX and GL3 you could feel a whisper. GL2 and the upper models of lamiglas weren’t quite as sensitive but you could detect vibration at a little above a whisper. Berkley and Browning you could feel a very low tone voice. One that surprised me was the Marado ”SKYLITZ” .it compared to the upper lamiglas models and at 1/3 the price. So I bought one.
*Note- when you do this make sure your ginnie pig doesn’t touch the rod with their hands,,, there’s a trust level here,,,,

If you're very, very quiet and you put the
tip of your rod under water, you can hear
what the fish are talking about. Sometimes
I put my ear against the cork handle and I
can hear the ocean. When it is really
windy I can hear the spirits of all the
fish I have ever caught screetching
through the guides. I see dead fish. :grin:

Hey Bumper Chrome,
I got a house rented down in Stevenson
about a half mile by river from the Wind.
You will have to stop over and we will cook
up some steaks. You hear that Thumper and
Metalhead, you guys gotta stop in too. :grin:

I got some Elk steaks and I may even be able to chew again by wind river time (doing the denture thing, 8 teeth pulled last friday).
Keta, do you rent those sheep?

No, I can't part with them. We have 26 new lambs so far and only one more ewe to go. Then I can spend more time fishing.

FEAR NO FISH: If you place your ear against a silicone implant, you can hear "Baywatch" re-runs.
