I tried to do something fun and catch a yellowtail on a rig straight out of the 1990's!!!
This was cutting edge in its day. A Newell was made from "space age" graphite components including the spool so it was super light compared to what was available at the time. It also made them a great reel to BOMB a surface iron with. They made this awful grinding noise the entire time you used one though and I never got on board with them.
While touring the tady_lures facility, Joey let me borrow this 10' jigstick and one of his old Newells for me to try and catch one for the OLD culture! Well here's how it went down this morning 🤣
We actually had a reel pop out of the reel seat yesterday but was successful in getting it seated back in and landed that fish. Today, not so much 🤷🏽♂️
Thanks to my gopro's I've been able to capture these wild moments with you guys going back to the Hero 1 days, 14 years ago!!!!
Fishing is wild. Fishing is Dope.
