I stumbled across an erie darter video on Youtube today. I don't know how to copy links, but the name of the video is "The best hand poured plastics in fishing". The only reason I am posting this is because I saw something that struck me as funny in this video. It looked to me that the guy in the video was using a spinning rod upside down. At 1:17 in the video, it gives a shot of the pole he is using (that sounds funny) and the guide closest to the reel looks like it's 3 inches high. I thought it was funny, hope I'm right and I'm not the stupid one. Check it out.
Some people were never taught and don't know any better, or a few just want to reel it the other way and don't know you can switch handles on some of them or get a left-handed reel. I see a lot of shore anglers who reel them upside down.

I really don't want to think about topic #2, but topic #1... at least he does it with a casting reel to slow down. If he did it with a spinning reel... I would point and laugh!
I didn't watch the whole video. I stopped when I saw that rod upside down.
so... you guys dont use spinning reels like that
;D
Not usually... I didn't watch the video. I don't want to learn any new bad habits...
