Good stuff, Dryer, especially as it applies to Texas. So do you ever use those short telescoping rod reel combos like the ones you find in department stores (usually Shakespeare brand I believe)? Seems reasonably light weight. I could commandeer my kids telescoping spiderman rod & reel for backpacking smile. Not sure how well that reel works though. Or if I wanted to get fancy (and still not spend much money), I could get one of those pen rods, though I've never much liked spinning reels, and that's what they come with. What do you carry?
