Yea- and too much free government grant money floating around! Geez, I'm not even allowed to HAVE shoelaces where they keep me! No belts or lids/seats on the toilet, either. Do they give grant money for studying old reels? Like for determining how many times the handle spins on an Akron vs. a Skilcast, given the same set of conditions? Or how air temperature affects casting distance? Best---- Joe Walkowski (WNYTC ORCA)

Ha! The Granny Knot explained! My left hand always wanted to tie the square knot backwards. To this day, I know when I'm tying a proper square knot when it feels wrong. All Hail the slip-ons!

This was funded research. One of the authors must be fantastic at writing proposals!
