re: If you ain't scopin'... You're just hopin'...

I run ACC rods, and BnM's as well as others, from 16ft down to 6'6", once we started casting a few years ago, the long rods stay home (mainly). My favorite is a ACC 6'6", have several. I dont line up on a fish, my foot never stops all day sweeping back and forth until I see a fish, if the fish is 30ft to the left, I cast to it.
