Wanted to buy strike guard
Wanted to buy strike guard
Back in the day, when bait fishing, from shore, with spinning gear, we would leave the bail open and hold the line with this "strike guard" gadget that attached to the rod, above the reel. The gadget was a spring loaded piston that you would open, place your line, in the gap and gently close the piston to hold the line until a fish would take the bait and run. Of course, you could do the same thing with a rubber band.
