I guess posting my drift net and dynamite is not a good idea.

DS, those unknown old fishing reels you got from your grandpa look rather interesting... They are metallic, but the shape is like.... a question mark... ???

The line spools around the little ball at the bottom, and you hold it by the curve of the so called "Question Mark"  ::)

There's something up with with those baitcasters!  They have all got the handles on the wrong side!! ;D
Alright if you cast with your left arm but cast with your right arm means doing the old right-left shuffle with the rod?? 
Could never get my head round that one! ???

Learn to cast from both sides. I'm right handed and I can cast both left and right depending on the situation. It's not difficult to learn.

Wow rod you have a large collection. I have a decent one for my age. 4 m one mooching reels matched with random trolling rods. 3 flyrods 5wt,6 wt and an 8-wt that im picking up this week. 3 spinning reels with random shimano and quatnum reels. Abu ambassador and quatnum coastal drift rod  All my money goes into fishing at least 90% of it. These have all been collected before i can drive i cant imagine how many ill end up having. Im learning you can never have enough gear(or at least thats what i tell myself).
