No rod? I need to hear this fish tale.

More a comment in agreement with Rockin (and you) about catching fish with older reels, but here goes.
I had just bought the reel from a guy. It didn't even have line on it. I spotted the fish cruising under the pier, threw the reel at him, and smacked that Freckled freak right in his gill hole. He floated to the top and I snagged him with a snatch hook.
No rope... just the snatch hook. :p
