Thanks. I have actually used UL before, but never backpacking, just catching crappie and bluegill off the dock. It's a blast, and a good sized crappie feels like a shark, on that UL gear. But I didn't know how this would work on a backpacking trip. Will also make it necessary to carry my MSR frying pan, oil, and some corn meal...then with my fishing skills, maybe not.... laugh

Thanks,
